Well, he isn't Ben Needham. Not that we thought he would be.
A simple DNA check cleared it all.
If Ben's DNA wasn't in I-Familia before, it now finally is. (The big news would be that South Yorkshire Police omitted to do this until now, but the press is vague on this point.)
Boy found in German river is NOT missing Ben Needham, DNA tests reveal
'
South Yorkshire Police, supported by Europol, has received
confirmation that a DNA sample of the body found in the River Danube in Germany does not match that of Ben Needham.
'Ben's family has been informed and are being supported. Our thoughts remain with the young boy who is yet to be identified and, of course, the Needham family who continue in their search for answers.'
