Prove to me that my boy was killed

THE mum of missing toddler Ben Needham has urged British police to return to Kos to speak to a crucial witness before he dies.

And Kerry Needham wants officers here and on the Greek island to prove their claim her son died in an accident.

Today marks the 32nd anniversary of Ben's disappearance in 1991 when he was nearly two but Kerry, 51, is still clinging to hopes he is alive,

UK detectives believe he was killed by a digger near the home his family were staying in after a witness came forward. A dig at the site in 2016 found blood on a toy car but DNA did not match Ben's.
