We have just received a letter from the Foriegn and Commonwealth office in London infoming us that they have been contacted by the Spanish authorities confirming that they are going to keep Gary’s body for another 3 years then cremate him as they have a regional ruling saying that they can do so, this is totally against our wishes it is devastating news for us we so desperately want Gary’s body /remains returned to the U.K for a proper funeral so all family,friends and neighbours can attend a service and say their goodbye’s it would also be a place where we can go to put flowers down and a place for Gary’s little boy Kieran to go and think about the father he never knew as he was only 5 months old when his father Gary was horrifically murdered by a Spanish gang of 12 with a machete in a 100% unprovoked attack.

Our only hope now is to launch a campaign to take to Downing Street to plead with our British government to put pressure on the Spanish authorities and force them to release Gary’s body,if we are going to have to wait 3 more years we will use the time to prepare a case and take the Spanish government to the European Court of Human Rights and have this antiquated rule changed as what they are doing to us is totally inhumane, mental torture and barbaric we have the backing to do this from well respected and top lawyers  Prof E.Rex Makin & Co Solicitors also  British MEP Arlene Mccarthy.  

We find it amazing that the Spanish can keep the body of anyone for 5 years as they have done in our case and then insist on a cremation, this surely in anyone’s mind is up to the parents or next of kin of the deceased to decide in this case myself and Lee as we were Gary’s parents.

Holiday makers and the thousands of ex-pats living over in Spain will be completely unaware of this ruling as it has taken us nearly 2 years to find out about it and when I asked the British consulate in Malaga to find out when this ruling was last imposed against the family of a British citizen they could not or maybe would not answer my question, this must be changed by the Andulucian authorities on the Costa Del Sol.
