A GRIEVING mum believes her son was murdered in Spain and the country’s cops are trying to cover it up.
Sandra Adams, 56, says her son Brett Dryden died from foul play and is now investigating herself after being left in anguish.
Brett, 35, had lived in the small town of Mojacar, in Andalusia, for five years while running a legal cannabis club called The Dawg House.
But the father-of-one was found dead in his resort home on the Costa Almeria on July 22, the Mirror reports.
A post-mortem in Spain attributed his death to a pulmonary embolism despite a significant head injury, characterized by a four-inch gash.
But Sandra does not buy this and believes cops are trying to cover up the death to protect the tourism industry.
Instead, she believes her 5ft 5 son was “quickly” killed by someone he knew.
Sandra told the Mirror: “I just want justice for my son. I will not rest until I get justice.”
“My husband got a call from his friend saying Brett had been found in his house dead and there was blood all up the walls.
Initially, Brett’s friends were shocked when the police implied he had been brutally murdered with an axe upon discovering his body.
A number of bizarre things happened following Brett’s death that clearly point to the involvement of other people, Sandra believes.
Neighbours told Robert they had CCTV footage of three men running away from Brett’s home on the night he died.
The Durham woman said she received a call from Brett’s phone hours after medics say Brett died.
After tracking the handset, the heartbroken mother found it was being turned on and off and moving to different locations in Spain.
Sandra said she told Spanish cops about what she had found and shared her suspicion that Brett’s death was “murder”.
But, Sandra said cops told her and husband Rob to “‘take a step back and let us deal with it now’.”
Spanish cops took CCTV footage from the home just before Christmas – but there is no confirmation cops have an open homicide investigation.
The fighting mum brought Brett’s body home to Britain to conduct a full autopsy, which was inconclusive.
Sandra is now fuming that Spanish cops have not kept her informed of the investigation – despite ringing them every day.
Husband Rob, Brett’s step-dad, has also been to Spain to try and speak to the Guardia.
Spanish police declined to comment on the case to the Mirror.
A court spokesperson emphasized that the investigation into the incident is ongoing and has not been concluded. The court is awaiting the comprehensive report and findings from the Civil Guard before drawing any final conclusions.
