Private eyes' new search for the truth about Brit's Costa death

'Murdered' Brett's mum hires duo

- BY PATRICK HILL

A MOTHER who believes her son was murdered in Spain has hired two former British detectives to probe his death.

Sam Hutchinson and Emma Coles, of Verity Henton Private Investigations, have agreed to take on the case of Brett Dryden, 35, who was found dead in July last year.

Brett's mother Sandra Adams told us: "They have ex-police inspectors [in Spain]. They are setting a clear line of investigation."

Sandra, 56, from Chester-le-Street, Co Durham, is campaigning for a Spanish judge to reopen the police investigation into the death of her son, who ran a legal cannabis club called The Dawg House.

Spanish officers think Brett was the victim of a robbery at his home in Mojacar, Costa de Almeria, that was carried out while he prepared to buy and sell marijuana.

Ms Hutchinson, 57, and Ms Coles, 41, are former Essex Police anti-corruption officers, who launched their agency in April 2020.
