Family confident of arrest “very soon” over death of Dumfries woman in Crete
Jean Hanlon was found dead in 2009.
The family of a Dumfries woman found dead on the Greek island of Crete ten years-ago are confident of an arrest “very soon.”
Jean Hanlon’s case has been opened and closed multiple times over the last decade due to insufficient evidence.
But last month it was opened for a third time when a new witness came forward following a Channel 5 documentary.
The 53 year-old’s body washed up at Heraklion Harbour after she was reported missing.
Greek authorities originally ruled she’d drowned. But when her family went to identify her body, they noticed a number of injuries and demanded a second post mortem.
It revealed Jean, who was living in Crete, had died before entering the water. She had suffered a broken neck and substantial other injuries.
