Missing Ben Needham’s mum fears toddler was dumped in an oil drum in Greece
Kerry Needham, who lost her son 18 years ago, believes that his body was hidden in the drums near the farmhouse
THE mum of missing toddler Ben Needham now believes that her son's body was hidden in an oil drum after he was killed.
Kerry Needham revealed that she met with detectives who believe that the tot died in a digger accident in Kos, Greece 28 years ago.
According to the , South Yorkshire police found oil drums near the farmhouse where the little boy was last seen in 1991.
She said: "For there to be no DNA, he must have been in an oil drum...[police] didn’t disagree.
“I believe Ben was scooped up by the digger and taken to the second site.
“They found several drums, he could have been kept in one of them.”
For there to be no DNA, he must have been in an oil drum...[police] didn’t disagree.

A toy car like Ben's was also unearthed on land used by digger driver Dino Barkas, who allegedly made a deathbed confession in 2015.
Kerry Needham revealed last summer that blood had been found on both items after they were discovered by British cops searching for her son in October 2016.
But although both the car and sandal were later found to be specked with tiny drops of blood, Kerry is no closer to finding out whether it belonged to Ben.
The tests are not being done by police, but instead by an independent group who Sun Online understands offered to do it for free.
A recent message on the official said: “We are still waiting for an update re the items found on the latest dig.

“As the items have been underground so long it could take some time to extract DNA if there is any there.
“We ask you to please keep sharing Ben's story. Somebody out there knows exactly what happened to Ben.”
The post continued: “Just because the [Facebook] page may seem quiet, doesn’t mean we have given up!!
“We are still 100 percent committed to finding Ben and we WILL find him.”
