It seems that it is either a case of "he who shouts loudest gets most", or it is just a great excuse for a few days in the sun for a privilidged few coppers. Either way the spending of such vast sums on incidents abroad over which our police have no jurisdiction pees me off big time and needs to stop pronto.
We don't know any details yet, but I have to say that Ben was 20 months old and I would never have allowed a child so young to play alone outside , if I could hear diggers nearby.
The real tragedy is that his mum was allowed to hope that he could be found alive for 25 years, and why the hell did nobody thoroughly investigate where these diggers were being used!

Re: Ben Needham: mum told to prepare for the worst.
If it is found to be that case that little Ben died at the farmhouse and people knew how he died but did not come forward I think they should be charged with obstructing the police
At the very least they could have let the police know anonymously that the child died as a result of an accident .

It is in the UK under certain circumstances.
The law is however hilarious in some respects.
A few years ago, an EHO found a dead body under the table in a food preparation room in Wolverhampton.
It was the body of an illegal immigrant who the other people in the kitchen had no idea what to do with, so had stuffed him under the table.
It was not an offence to have a dead body in a kitchen, simply because nobody had ever thought of it so it was not included in the legislation.
