The devastated husband of a British woman who was found dead in Greece after vanishing from a beach last month has blasted local police for not helping him, and claims that cops did not care because his wife was a foreigner.

Michele Bourda, 59, disappeared from Ofrynio beach, in the Greek city of Kavala on August 1 and left all her belongings - including her glasses, medication and even her towel - on a sun lounger while her husband slept.

Her body was finally located more than a month after she first went missing, her husband Chris, 66, told the Daily Mail on Thursday.

Mr Bourda said that when he alerted the authorities, harbour police were 'useless' and did not start their search for his wife - who suffered from depression and anxiety - until late at night.

'I don't know what effect that had.
