Ben Needham: Force investigates police 'drinking session' claims

Detective Superintendent Matt Fenwick (L) has been sent home

One of the most senior detectives in the South Yorkshire police force has been recalled back to Sheffield from the Greek island of Kos after allegations that members of the team searching for Ben Needham went on an eight-hour drinking session.

It is said to have taken place just hours after the latest appeal to find Ben was made at the farmhouse where he was last seen.

Today there were more calls for South Yorkshire police to be overhauled, but the Needham family say they still support the officers from Operation Ben.
