Kerry Needham told Ben could have been crushed by digger driver
Kerry Needham has been told by detectives from the Operation Ben team that it is possible Ben died on the day he disappeared after an accident involving a digger.
The revelations emerged after a friend of the digger driver Konstantinos Barkas came forward with new information following a witness appeal on Greek TV earlier this year.
The machinery was being driven up and down the narrow lane close to the farmhouse where Ben was last seen.
It is thought Ben's body could have been taken to one of two sites near the farmhouse which will be excavated next month.
The digger driver Barkas died last year.
