A 55-year-old man has been found guilty of the murder of Jean Hanlon, a British woman whose body was discovered in the port of Heraklion, Crete, in March 2009. This decision was reached by the Mixed Jury Court of Lasithi, which unanimously ruled him guilty but recognized a reduced degree of culpability.

The case, which spanned 17 years, involved significant efforts from Hanlon's family, particularly her sons, who campaigned for the truth surrounding her death to be uncovered. The accused had been identified as a suspect early in the investigation but had not been convicted until now. The court's ruling has concluded a long legal saga stemming from a crime that highlighted severe issues of gender-based violence in Greece. The specific sentencing details have not been disclosed in the current reports.
