Steven Cook ‘confession’ could help crack case of Brit found dead in Greek well

By staff2 August 2025No Comments4 Mins Read

Steven Cook went missing after a night out with pals in Greece in 2005 and his remains were found in a well years later – an alleged ‘confession’ could help solve the mystery into his death

A British man allegedly confessed to the murder of another tourist who disappeared on holiday 20 years ago.

Steven Cook, then 20, vanished while on a night out with pals in Crete, Greece, on September 1, 2005. The 20-year-old, from Sandbach, Cheshire, had been on his first ever holiday without his family but disaster struck after he was not heard from for more than a decade, despite desperate pleas on both UK and Greek TV.

Steven’s dead body was eventually found in a well in Crete in 2017 but the circumstances around his shock death have remained a mystery – but a bombshell update could give his heartbroken family answers. It comes after a 3-year-old girl was found dead on a beach in Greece by a horrified passer-by.

Steven had been out with pals on the night he went missing but he left the pub they were in by himself, before he vanished. He was last seen in another bar in Malia, Crete, asking for directions to the hotel he was staying in – Steven then walked in the wrong direction and was not seen alive again.

The mystery into Steven’s whereabouts continued for years and his heartbroken parents Norman and Pat, both 73, had put out a €7,000 reward for information into his disappearance. His remains were discovered by workers near a cemetery in Malia in February 2017.

Some of Steven’s belongings, including a disposable camera, belt and cloth, were also found with his remains. Despite finding his body, questions remain as to how the British tourist died and ended up in the well.

This mystery could soon be solved after the lawyer for the dead Brit, Yiannis Konstantoudakis, claimed an email about an alleged confession into Steven’s apparent murder was sent to Cheshire Police last year, according to The Sun.

The ex-wife of a 38-year-old Brit reportedly claimed her former partner admitted to killing Steven in a rant while high on drugs after his body was found in 2017. The ex-wife alleged her partner said he had gotten into a fight with another young man in Malia in 2005 while drunk and the victim died after being hit on the head.

She also claimed her ex said he threw the dead body into a well after the alleged brawl. The woman, who has not been named, claimed she had two silver beads from a bracelet allegedly belonging to Steven, from the night he died – the victim’s family has not identified the bracelet.

The woman claimed her ex had a breakdown after Steven’s remains were discovered and even threatened to kill himself. The family’s lawyer said he was wary of her claims due to the huge gap between 2017 and now, but added the bombshell information could still be credible.

The 38-year-old British man has denied any involvement in Steven’s death and told British police he was not in Crete at the same time as the victim, according to local newspaper Parapolitika.

Konstantoudakis said he fears the case could be closed in September, despite this alleged major update, if there are no more developments. Cheshire Police told The Sun it “is aware of the developments in the investigation into the death of Steven Cook”.

Cops added: “At this time, we are working closely with the Greek Authorities and Steven’s family who are being supported by specialist officers.”
