Crete police 'perplexed' by case of dead Briton aboard sunken yacht

“It’s a very strange case,” said an officer requesting anonymity. “We find it difficult to believe that a yacht that is 30 metres in length can sink easily. Our inquiry is obviously focused on the wreckage and whether there is any evidence to suggest it was deliberately submerged. It’s perplexing.”

While there were no visible injuries on the body, foul play has not been ruled out, according to coastguard officials. “Nothing can be excluded at this stage,” one said.

The crew on a passing fishing boat alerted the authorities after spotting the wreck. Roberts’ frightened dog, Tuck, was said to be clinging to the part of the deck that remained above water.

“He was on the bow of the yacht trying with all his little dog might not to drown,” said Efi Tsekmesoglou, who runs an animal welfare society in Chania. “The dog was in a state of shock. We’ve been inundated with calls from around the world by people wanting to take him in. Hugh had 12 cats and three dogs on the huge estate he had in the foothills.”

No kidding, a young goat was rescued yesterday from the rockfall protection netting in Poros gorge after getting caught up in it. Photo from the Tzanata Cultural Association webpage.
