Missing toddler Ben Needham may have been crushed to death by a digger, campaigners searching for him have been told.


Ben, from Sheffield, was 21 months old when he disappeared on the Greek island of Kos on 24 July 1991.


South Yorkshire Police Officers will be travelling to Kos in the coming weeks to follow up new lines of enquiry as part of the ongoing investigation into the disappearance of Ben Needham on the island 25-years ago.


A direct, Greek media appeal made by officers in May this year on Kos, prompted new information and lines of enquiry, which have been explored and investigated over the last three months.


Working with the Greek Authorities, officers are now in a position to travel back to the island and commence ‘digs’ at two sites close to where Ben was last seen on 24 July 1991.


Detective Superintendent Matt Fenwick leading the investigation said: “There will be planned operational activity at two locations on the island that have been identified as areas of interest to the investigation.


“We continue to keep an open mind and have updated Ben’s family about certain lines of enquiry we’re currently exploring.


“A dedicated policing team continues to work extremely hard to find answers for his family and keep them fully informed and supported throughout the investigation.”
