Matthew Cryer police arrest 4 men in connection to British teen's death in Greece Matthew Cryer, 17, was thrown down stairs of nightclub in Zante in 2008 Greek police claimed he had died from excessive drinking Four men now set to be charged with 'exposure to harm' By Aaron Sharp UPDATED: 15:25, 24 October 2013 Attacked: Matthew Cryer, pictured, was found to have 20 injuries after being thrown down a set of stairs outside a nightclub in Zante Four men are set to be charged in connection with the death of a British teenager who died after being thrown out of a nightclub on the holiday island of Zante. Matthew Cryer, 17, was thrown down a flight of stairs outside the Cocktails and Dreams bar in the resort of Laganas in 2008. Police initially blamed the student's death on excessive drinking, but an inquest revealed he had least 20 injuries suggesting he had been attacked. Matthew's family have led a five-year fight to bring their son's killer to justice which led to Greek police reopening their investigation in 2011. Now four men could be charged with 'exposure to harm'. Matthew's father David, from Frecheville, Sheffield said: 'There is still a long way to go but this is definitely a step in the right direction. We are now waiting to hear when these four men will face the courts on what we are told are very serious charges. I will of course be there in Zante when these men appear in the dock which is something I vowed to do since Matthew died. It is our aim to get justice for Matt and I want to be there to see it happen. Matthew died outside the Cocktails And Dreams nightclub. At first the Greek police reported his death had been caused by excessive drinking. But a post mortem examination in England confirmed he had sustained 20 separate injuries, and bruising was found on his body. Tragic: Matthew was enjoying his first holiday abroad when the incident happened at the Cocktails And Dreams nightclub in Zante, Greece, above Witnesses at his inquest in Chesterfield described how club bouncers had dragged him from his seat, and violently beat him before he was thrown down a steep flight of steps onto the street where he died. The coroner recorded a verdict that Matthew had been unlawfully killed. Despite being frustrated by the pace of legal proceedings in Greece, the family campaign included peaceful protests, music festivals, golf tournaments and a host of other events to remind people of Matthew. Mr Cryer added: 'The Greek authorities have been far from helpful in helping us bring this to a conclusion. But we remain determined as a family to see this through to the end. His mother Jo Froud said: 'Matthew will always be missing from our lives and there's nothing we can do about that, but if we can get this court case and what we think is a reasonable kind of justice for him, then we can move forward.'
