Jean Hanlon Murder Trial Finally Begins | Glasgow News

After 17 years, a murder trial finally begins in Crete for Jean Hanlon, a Scottish mother who vanished in 2009 and was later found dead in the harbor — her death initially ruled accidental but reclassified after a second autopsy revealed homicide. Her former partner, a Cretan man, was questioned but released last year due to insufficient evidence, until appeal judges now mandate trial proceedings. The case, reopened four times since 2023, gained momentum after a private investigator uncovered damning clues from Jean’s diary, leading prosecutors to pursue charges. The trial, set to conclude by Friday, offers a long-awaited chance for justice for Jean’s family, who’ve fought for answers for nearly two decades.
