'I DON'T THINK I WILL EVER BE ABLE TO GO ON HOLIDAY EVER AGAIN'

Mum's trauma after her partner was escorted off flight after landing – and she never saw him again

THE partner of a man who died on their family holiday to Turkey has said she is only existing now for the sake of their children and that his death has traumatised her for life.

Ben Crook, 32, from Caerphilly, died after suffering a fall on his arrival in Antalya in September last year.

An inquest last week at Gwent Coroner's Court heard that Ben had been escorted off the plane by Turkish police upon landing, after being drunk and disorderly during the flight.

After this point, his partner Jessicca Jenkins, 38, and her two youngest children, would spend days at police stations and searching the streets of Antalya to find him. Then the awful news came that Ben had been found dead.

It has been ruled that Ben died after falling from a height, which led to him suffering head injuries such as a fractured skull. He also had damage and bleeding to the brain and his pelvis had been fractured on both sides.

Speaking to Wales on Sunday, Jess has described Ben's death as traumatic, and has said that now he is gone a part of her is missing.

She also alleges Turkish police were concealing Ben's death from her for days.
