The family of PC Hannah Byrne, who tragically died in Corfu in September 2023, is still seeking answers nearly three years later. Byrne fell from a rooftop on her first night in Kavos, suffering a fatal head injury. Her family is urging anyone with information to come forward, especially two British women who were present at the scene but left without speaking to police.
The case has gained attention in Parliament, with local MP Chris Coghlan advocating for the Home Office to expedite the investigation. He highlighted the lack of communication regarding whether UK police have been allowed to interview the witnesses. The family expressed their frustration over the ongoing delays, with the inquest into Byrne’s death postponed multiple times due to the Greek authorities’ unfinished investigation.
Minister of State for Security, Dame Angela Eagle, acknowledged the family’s pain but stated that legal confidentiality prevents her from discussing specifics of the investigation. This lack of clarity has left the family in a state of limbo, unable to fully process their grief without understanding the circumstances surrounding Byrne’s death.
As the family continues to seek closure, they are hopeful that increased public awareness and pressure on authorities will lead to vital information coming to light. They remain in contact with the Foreign Office, which is providing support during this difficult time.
