Police say discovery ‘corroborates and strengthens’ theory that boy died in accident 26 years ago on Greek island of KosSigns of blood have been found on a toy car and sandal believed to have belonged to toddler Ben Needham, who disappeared on Kos 26 years ago. South Yorkshire police said the development “corroborates and strengthens” the theory Ben died in an accident at his grandparents’ farmhouse where he had been staying. Ben’s body has never been found although other items – thought to be a toy car and sandal belonging to the 21-month-old – are being tested for his DNA after being recovered previously. Scientists said on Monday they had found human blood samples on the items but that further testing was required to link them directly to Ben. But it also suggests that not only did they kill my boy and bury him where the toy car was found, they then moved him before police got to the site last October.
