Devoted father Nathan Osman, 30, from Pontypridd, was away with friends on his first-ever lads’ holiday when he was found dead at the bottom of a 500ft cliff.

Spanish authorities ruled Nathan's death was an accident or that he had possibly taken his own life - but his family immediately believed there was foul play.

Now they have finally won their battle to have an investigation into his death reopened - after becoming convinced it was foul play.

Nathan’s devoted brother and sister turned detective to trawl through CCTV evidence, gather witness statements, and access phone and bank records in a bid to force police to reopen the probe.

CCTV footage shows Nathan walking along Benidorm’s beachfront alone at night; he was not pictured again.

And after pleading their case to Spanish police and prosecutors in March, a judge ruled a homicide investigation should now begin.

Nathan’s brother Lee Evans, 39, said: “We met the Spanish authorities to discuss the case because we were not happy with the police report and believed there were discrepancies and a lack of investigation.”
