Gary Dunne, 22, was killed by a machete-wielding thug on Spain's Costa del Sol in March 2006. His body is being kept under local hygiene laws. A heartbroken family have won the support of Sports Secretary Andy Burnham in their battle to bring home the body of their murdered son. But Mr Burnham, who has met Gary's parents Stephen and Lesley, told officials in Spain last month: "The return of Gary's body is crucially important to his family." Killer Victor Posse Navas was recently jailed for just nine years after a court heard he was under the influence of drugs.
But Gary's dad Stephen, of Liverpool, said: "Gary is not going to walk in, in nine years and say, 'Hi Dad, fancy a pint?'. Yet his killer will be free by then."
The parents presented a 50,000-strong petition to Downing Street in July.
