Every year thousands of Brits jet off to party destinations abroad filled with hopes of partying till dawn and earning enough money to escape the mundane. Different country, different people, different laws. 

So what happens when the ultimate crime is committed? Helen and Martyn, the parents of 22 year old George Low, found out that justice in Britain is different to justice elsewhere when he was stabbed to death in the streets of Ayia Napa. 

In this episode Kate Gerbeau delves into their search for answers and accountability and also hears from their MP Gareth Johnson who has taken this all the way to Downing Street. We are also joined by Matthew Searle at The Lucy Blackman Trust and specialist travel lawyer Nicola Rostron at Slater and Gordon.
