Jean Hanlon, from Dumfries, was found in the sea with a broken neck on Crete in 2009. Greek authorities are closing the case into the 53-year-old's death because of a lack of evidence.

However her two sons, David and Michael Porter, are travelling to the island today to push for the investigation to continue.
