Is this Ben Needham? Picture of Roma man suspected of being British tot missing for 22 years

Greek police will DNA test man who Ben’s mum Kerry believes could be the son who disappeared from Kos in 1991 aged two

Greek detectives will DNA test a young man living with a Roma family in Cyprus after sensational evidence emerged suggesting he could be missing Ben Needham.

Ben’s mum Kerry has been handed a grainy photograph of the man and believes it could be her son who disappeared from Kos in 1991, aged two.

He has light brown hair and blue eyes and moved to Cyprus with a Roma family a few years ago to avoid mandatory military service in Greece.

Yesterday Kerry, 41, said she was encouraged by the breakthrough in the hunt for her missing son, who will now be 23.

Kerry said: “I’ve seen the picture and believe he bears a resemblance to how Ben might now look.

“As a family we’re greatly lifted by this and we will be in close contact with the Greek authorities to make sure we are kept fully aware of any progress.

“We’ve never given up hope of finding Ben and we are encouraged that the police in Greece are continuing to investigate.”
