The animation was produced after Red Cross staff interviewed the then-minor at the Moria reception center on the island of Lesbos, documenting his account of fleeing Afghanistan following the deaths of his parents and his journey through Turkey to Greece.
In a statement to the Daily Mail, Red Cross spokesperson Scott Craig said: “Our thoughts are with the family and friends of Ross at this extremely difficult time.
We took this decision out of respect for the victim’s family while legal proceedings continue.”
Earlier this week, Ross’ family issued its first public statement since her death, paying tribute to the 38-year-old British volunteer but making no reference to the suspect or the ongoing criminal investigation.
The Ross’ family has appealed for privacy as the investigation proceeds and said authorities remain focused on establishing the full circumstances surrounding the killing.
