Linda Norgrove, from Lewis in the Outer Hebrides, had been working in the country when she was kidnapped.
Former colleagues have told a BBC Alba documentary that her captors told Ms Norgrove she was only being held hostage as a bargaining tool.
The 36-year-old was killed by a US grenade during a failed rescue attempt.
Ms Norgrove had been working on humanitarian projects in Afghanistan in 2010 when she was seized by rebels.
Colleagues still working in the country told BBC Alba that her captors told Ms Norgrove they did not intend to kill her.
She was led to believe she was being held captive to secure the release of rebel prisoners and would be set free when that happened.
The programme also shows images of Ms Norgrove's kidnappers that she took herself on her camera and phone before she was killed.
It had first been thought her captors killed her during the US rescue mission in October 2010 but later evidence confirmed she was killed by a grenade thrown by a US special forces soldier.
Ms Norgrove was abducted along with at least one other colleague who survived the rescue attempt.
Abdul Wadood, another former colleague who is still working on humanitarian projects in Afghanistan, said: "Linda asked the abductors when they were planning to kill her and then the abductors talked to her in a very soft language and they told her and assured her that she would not be killed, because that was not their purpose to kill her - all they wanted was to release some of their prisoners, in the end she would be released when this deed is done."
Travelling to Afghanistan, Ms Norgrove's parents John and Lorna said it was important for them to see where their daughter had lived and worked and to review the aid work now supported by the charity they set up in her name.
Mr Norgrove said: "We deliberately took a choice that we thought what we should try and do is try and make something positive, because I think that's what Linda would have wanted after Linda had been killed.
"It was with that in mind that we started up the charity that we did and it stopped us getting totally involved in all this blame culture of trying to work out whose fault it was, because at the end of the day I don't think it was anybody's fault."
The Linda Norgrove Foundation is now providing financial help for the kind of work Ms Norgrove did while she was in Afghanistan, including support for schools and hospitals.
Lorgan Linda - Linda's Story will be on BBC Alba on Monday 8 October at 21.00 and later on the iPlayer

The aid worker who died in Afghanistan during an attempt to free her two years ago was told by her captors they were not going to kill her, it has emerged.

A Coast Guard cutter arrived in San Diego on Thursday with more than 14 tons of cocaine, part of what authorities has described as a surge of seizures near Central and South America. The cocaine, valued by the Coast Guard at $424 million, was seized by U.S. and Canadian forces in 19 separate incidents in the eastern Pacific Ocean near Central and South America. It included a 10½-ton bust from a coastal freighter, the largest maritime drug interdiction in that area since 2009. A crewman from the Coast Guard Cutter Boutwell guards some of more than 28,000 pounds of cocaine, seized at sea and offloaded at Naval Base San Diego on Thursday . The cocaine was seized by U.S. and Canadian forces in 19 separate incidents in the eastern Pacific Ocean near Central and South America . The U.S. Navy and Coast Guard and Royal Canadian Navy ships have seized more than 28 tons of cocaine valued at $848 million in the eastern Pacific region near Central and South America in the last six months, resulting in 101 arrests. That's more than the 12-month period that ended in September, and U.S. authorities have called it the most successful run for drug seizures in the area since 2009. Suspicious vessels in international waters were tracked by military or law enforcement aircraft or vessels. Coast Guard personnel operating from Coast Guard cutters and Royal Canadian Navy vessels boarded the ships to seize the drugs. Thursday's arrival marked the second time that the Cutter Boutwell has returned home with a huge load of drugs. In October, its crew turned over more than 14 tons of cocaine to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration.

Isobel Attwood, 16, has been missing for two days . A missing 16-year-old schoolgirl who vanished from her home two days ago is believed to be with a man in his 20s. Isobel Attwood has not made contact with her family since leaving her home in Winchester, Hampshire, on Saturday afternoon. Police are appealing for help to find the schoolgirl who is described as white, 5ft 4ins tall, of a 'small build' and has brown hair with extensions. Friends have posted on social media saying the 16-year-old is in Southampton with a man in his 20s. Isobel wrote a message on Facebook last night, saying: 'Sorry for causing s*** for everyone. Anyone who’s had the police round theirs I’m sorry. I need to just get away for a while. I’m safe and feel bad for all this.' Heather Farquharson said: 'Apparently she's in Southampton with her boyfriend who is in his 20s.' Vicky Saunders said: 'Apparently she was on fb last night saying that she was safe and just needed to get away.' Officers are becoming concerned for the teenager's welfare. They believe she could be in the Winchester or Southampton area. PC Ross Edwards, from Hampshire Constabulary, said: 'We are becoming concerned for Isobel's welfare after she left home around Saturday lunchtime. 'We believe she could still be in the Winchester or Southampton areas. 'Isobel, if you're reading this, you're not in trouble. Please come home or make contact with us or your family. 'We have been following up several lines of enquiries since Isobel went missing and believe she has been seen since but we've been unable to trace her so far. 'If anyone has spotted Isobel or a girl matching her description or if anyone knows where she is, please get in touch.' Anyone with information is asked to contact PC Edwards at Winchester police station on 101.

Shana Grice ended her relationship with "obsessed" Michael Lane who stalked her when she started up a new relationship, Lewes Crown Court has heard.
The 19-year-old's body was discovered with her throat slit in her bedroom, which had been set alight, in August.
Mr Lane denies murder.
Giving evidence, his friend Natalie Fines said she bumped into him during an evening out with her parents on Saturday, 20 August.
Ms Fines told the court: "He told me she'd dumped him and gone back to her ex. He wasn't very happy about it, he told me he was depressed.
"As we were all leaving and hugging goodbye, he whispered in my ear 'she'll pay for what she's done'."
During cross-examination by Simon Russell Flint QC, defending, she added: "I didn't think that much of it. He'd often say things like that.
"For example, that he'd kill himself, and do it that night, but he didn't act on it."
The trial has previously heard Mr Lane, of Thornhill Rise, Portslade, East Sussex, put a tracker device on Miss Grice's car after hearing about her rekindling of the relationship with Ashley Cooke.
He was also cautioned by police after he stole a key to her back door before letting himself into her bedroom in Chrisdory Road, Portslade, to watch her sleep.
The trial continues.

(CNN)A measles outbreak that affected more than 130 Californians since December is over, the California Department of Public Health declared Friday. It has been 42 days since the last known case of B3 strain of measles, the equivalent of two successive incubation periods, said Dr. Karen Smith, director of the health department. The department said in its latest update that 131 people came down with the B3 strain, and five who had a different genotype than the outbreak strain. Of the 131 cases, the state was able to obtain the vaccination status for 81 patients. Of the 81, 70% were unvaccinated. "Prompt investigation of cases, interviewing hundreds of contacts of infected people, vaccinating hundreds of at risk people, and increasing awareness among health care providers about measles, helped to control this outbreak," Smith said. The outbreak began with dozens of visitors to two Disney theme parks in the state. The health department said 42 of the cases occurred from December 17-20. Two patients with rashes have been identified in April, but they have a different measles genotype. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said on its website that 19 different strains have been discovered since 1990. Measles is a highly contagious respiratory disease. It causes fever, red and sore eyes, runny nose, cough and a rash. It can cause deadly health complications, including pneumonia and encephalitis. It is spread by contact with an infected person through coughing or sneezing. It can remain in the air and on surfaces for up to two hours. CNN's Debra Goldschmidt contributed to this report.

Driver Henry McPherson, 61, from St Fergus, died after the accident on the A952 near Mintlaw in 2014.
Pauline Flynn, 36, denies causing death by careless driving.
Mr McPherson's partner Patricia McPherson, 52, told Peterhead Sheriff Court she remembered the look of fear on his face.
Ms Flynn, of Mintlaw, allegedly crossed on to the opposite side of the carriageway while driving along the Clola to Toll of Birness road.
Mrs McPherson said: "I became aware that I was to be in a crash when I saw lights cross from the other carriageway lighting up the central line, the driving line of the road.
"The lights were right in my face.
"The next thing I remember after that is a feeling like I was in a washing machine.
"It was a bit surreal. I felt like I was in a washing machine going round and round and can remember hearing myself screaming.
"And I can remember looking over at Harry and he had a look of fear on his face that I had never seen in my life."
Mrs McPherson described Mr McPerson as a masculine man who would not have shown anyone when he was scared.
She went on: "I think he knew it wasn't going to end well."
Mrs McPherson said her partner of 34 years, who was known as Harry, had his arms stretched straight out in front on him on the steering wheel.
She said she then felt as if she was being crushed from the front of her chest to her back and could barely breathe.
Mrs McPherson said: "I can remember being in the car and feeling crushed and I can remember a strange smell of earth or soil.
"I couldn't understand why I was smelling earth. I didn't at that stage realise the situation I was in.
"I didn't realise I was in a crash."
Defence lawyer Susan Duffy asked Mrs McPherson if she wanted someone to be responsible for the death of Mr McPherson and her subsequent fracture injuries.
She replied: "I don't want anyone to be responsible for that no. I want to have my partner back."
The trial continues.

Kent closed on 288-5, a lead of 437, opting not to set Essex a target.
Essex earlier were bowled out for 292, avoiding the follow-on by one run.
Kent were reduced to 40-4 but Northeast shared an unbroken 185 with Will Gidman (63 not out) as runners-up Kent batted through the remainder of the day.
The hosts had already secured the six points that guaranteed second place, a promotion spot in any other season.
In reality, the prospects of a result were slim as soon as David Masters and Matt Dixon scored the three runs Essex needed to avoid the follow-on, with Dixon then out from the very next ball.
Even when Kent slipped to 40-4 and 103-5, it never seemed likely that Essex would be able to force victory without the aid of a declaration.
Northeast, an immovable figure, ensured as much, the only excitement coming when he took 30 off one Kishen Velani over - three fours and three sixes.
The final over was bowled by retiring Essex seamer David Masters, the 38-year-old ending his first-class career with 672 wickets from 202 matches.
He was given a guard of honour that included England Test captain Alastair Cook as he left the field.

Sam Northeast made 178 not out as his Kent side batted out a tame draw against County Championship Division Two champions Essex on the final day of the season at Canterbury.

It launched a scheme for 500 UK teenagers amid looming staff shortages, with the Guardian reporting the young people would only get free food.
But following online criticism, the sandwich chain said it would pay participants and give them free food.
The firm said it saw "how passionately people feel about the initiative".
One in 50 Pret applicants is British
The company launched its Big Experience Week after it said it would struggle to staff its outlets following Brexit because just one in 50 job applicants is British.
Its director of human resources, Andrea Wareham, said UK job seekers did not see it as a desirable place to work.
The Big Experience Week would give participants exposure to aspects of its business, including food production, customer service, "social responsibility" - described as care for the homeless - and financial control, Pret said.
However, following criticism on social media that the placements would be unpaid, the company tweeted a statement saying it would now be paying participants.
Pret CEO Clive Schee said: "Pret's work experience week is not about making sandwiches for free.
"We set it up so that 16-18-year-olds can shadow our teams and get a flavour of what working at Pret is like.
"We've seen how passionately people feel about the initiative, and in response I would like to confirm that we will pay all participants."
A spokeswoman for the company added that the teenagers were "not there to work themselves" and would instead be shadowing team members.

The ex-Lib Dem MP and ex-wife Vicky Pryce were both jailed after she took his speeding points in 2003.
Some 360 former MPs were granted passes for the Parliamentary estate, according to the Press Association's FOI request.
Labour MP John Mann said Huhne should not have been given the pass.
Mr Mann said: "I do not think someone who has committed a criminal offence that has meant they went to prison should get privileged access to the Houses of Parliament.
"Let them queue with the general public if they want to get in."
Huhne and Pryce both served two months of an eight-month sentence.
Huhne had quit the Cabinet and stood down as Eastleigh MP after pleading guilty.
Speaking after his release, he said prison had been "a humbling and sobering experience".
Also on the passholders list was ex-Conservative minister Jonathan Aitken, who was jailed in 1999 for perjury and perverting the course of justice, and Derek Conway, who had the Conservative whip withdrawn and then stepped down as an MP after his employment of his son was heavily criticised.

Colour Sgt Martyn Horton, L/Cpl David Ramsden, Pte Douglas Halliday and Pte Alex Isaac all died after the crash in Helmand on 23 June, 2010.
The collision forced their Ridgeback vehicle onto two wheels, before rolling into the canal, the court heard.
The inquest is due to take five days.
The hearing, at Salisbury Coroner's Court, resumed on Monday after being part heard in November,
The servicemen were members of a police advisory team, travelling as part of a two-vehicle convoy, at the time of the crash.
The vehicle, driven by L/Cpl Ramsden, collided with an Afghan National Police car by the Nahr-e Bughra canal.
The inquest heard how the crash happened as the vehicle was travelling to a police checkpoint, at the request of the Afghan National Police.
The request followed several explosions in the area.
Dr John Searle, a consultant in accident reconstruction, said: ""It was a glancing impact, an impact where the vehicle carries on and is not stopped by the impact."
He said visibility in the vehicle would have been similar to a car driving in normal night-time conditions.
Pte Michael Peers, who managed to escape from the submerged Ridgeback, said the occupants were wearing seatbelts and opened the back hatch near the water, as was recommended.
"I heard a loud bang which was like an explosion, I do not know where it came from or where it impacted, if it did impact," he said.
Colour Sergeant Horton, 34, was from Runcorn in Cheshire, L/Cpl Ramsden, 26, was from Leeds and Pte Halliday, 20, was from Wallasey in Merseyside.
Pte Isaac, 20, was from the Wirral.
All four soldiers were from the 1st Battalion The Mercian Regiment (Cheshire).

A father has discovered that Facebook photos of him and his seven-year-old daughter were used to set up a fake account and scam an Austrian woman out of $4,000. Antonio Valente, from Dallas, Texas, first learned of the ruse when he received a message from Marianne Heinrich, who lives in Vienna, two weeks ago, he told NBC DFW. She told him that someone using the name 'Johnson Michael Lynn' had created a fake Facebook profile using photos of him and his daughter before befriending Heinrich online. Scroll down for video . Shock: Antonio Valente, from Dallas, Texas, learned that his Facebook photos were being used on a fake account - and ultimately scammed an Austrian woman out of $4,000 . After a few weeks of friendly conversations with Heinrich, the man said he wanted to marry her and move to Austria to be with her and his daughter, she told Valente. When he said he needed money to pay taxes in England, Heinrich wired him $4,000. She soon realized she had been conned and used an image from the profile to search Google photos and discovered they had been stolen from Valente. Among the photographs shared by 'Johnson Michael Lynn' was also a photoshopped image showing Valente's face oddly placed on another person's body in hospital. Fake: The profile used his pictures but the name 'Johnson Michael Lynn' and claimed he was from Ohio . Scam: The profile showed photos of Valente's head pasted onto another person's body in hospital, left, and images of his seven-year-old daughter, right. The scammer told the woman he wanted to marry her . The Texas dad was stunned. 'It's very scary to think someone could do this,' he told NBC. But he also realized it was just the start of the battle. He wanted to report the problem to Facebook to get the fake profile removed but, because the scammer had blocked him on the website, it did not allow Valente to file a complaint. 'If you're blocked, it's circular,' Valente said. 'You can't do anything.' After being contacted by NBC, Facebook removed the profile. Victim: Marianne Heinrich, who lives in Vienna, said she does not expect to get her $4,000 back . The company's help page gives instructions on how to file reports about a user who is pretending to be someone else; the reports can be filed even if the victim does not have a Facebook page. The section can be found on the Help Page under 'Report Something' and 'Report a Violation', which then gives a list of the violations, including how to file reports in a similar situation to Valente's. A Facebook spokesperson told NBC that the process is being reviewed to make it easier. Heinrich has contacted authorities in England but said she does not expect to get her money back. See below for video .

A father has discovered that Facebook photos of him and his seven-year-old daughter were used to set up a fake account and scam an Austrian woman out of $4,000. Antonio Valente, from Dallas, Texas, first learned of the ruse when he received a message from Marianne Heinrich, who lives in Vienna, two weeks ago, he told NBC DFW. She told him that someone using the name 'Johnson Michael Lynn' had created a fake Facebook profile using photos of him and his daughter before befriending Heinrich online. Scroll down for video . Shock: Antonio Valente, from Dallas, Texas, learned that his Facebook photos were being used on a fake account - and ultimately scammed an Austrian woman out of $4,000 . After a few weeks of friendly conversations with Heinrich, the man said he wanted to marry her and move to Austria to be with her and his daughter, she told Valente. When he said he needed money to pay taxes in England, Heinrich wired him $4,000. She soon realized she had been conned and used an image from the profile to search Google photos and discovered they had been stolen from Valente. Among the photographs shared by 'Johnson Michael Lynn' was also a photoshopped image showing Valente's face oddly placed on another person's body in hospital. Fake: The profile used his pictures but the name 'Johnson Michael Lynn' and claimed he was from Ohio . Scam: The profile showed photos of Valente's head pasted onto another person's body in hospital, left, and images of his seven-year-old daughter, right. The scammer told the woman he wanted to marry her . The Texas dad was stunned. 'It's very scary to think someone could do this,' he told NBC. But he also realized it was just the start of the battle. He wanted to report the problem to Facebook to get the fake profile removed but, because the scammer had blocked him on the website, it did not allow Valente to file a complaint. 'If you're blocked, it's circular,' Valente said. 'You can't do anything.' After being contacted by NBC, Facebook removed the profile. Victim: Marianne Heinrich, who lives in Vienna, said she does not expect to get her $4,000 back . The company's help page gives instructions on how to file reports about a user who is pretending to be someone else; the reports can be filed even if the victim does not have a Facebook page. The section can be found on the Help Page under 'Report Something' and 'Report a Violation', which then gives a list of the violations, including how to file reports in a similar situation to Valente's. A Facebook spokesperson told NBC that the process is being reviewed to make it easier. Heinrich has contacted authorities in England but said she does not expect to get her money back.

Ryan Morse, from Brynithel, Blaenau Gwent, died on 8 December 2012 from undiagnosed Addison's disease.
Dr Leonard Peter told Cardiff Crown Court Dr Joanne Rudling, of Cardiff, did not ask enough questions about Ryan's condition hours before he died.
She and Dr Lindsey Thomas, 42, of Tredegar, deny manslaughter.
Dr Peter, who has worked as a GP for 41 years, told the court 46-year-old Dr Rudling, one of his GPs, should have shown more curiosity about Ryan's state.
Zoe Johnson, defending Dr Rudling, put it to Dr Peter that medical notes suggested Ryan was "feeling a bit better from a temperature point of view" the day before he died, but still suffering from sickness and diarrhoea.
She said Dr Rudling had offered him the chance to see a male doctor on Monday after she was told of a change in the colour of Ryan's genitalia, something she felt was a symptom of puberty.
"Looking at the record I'd be concerned that a child had serious symptoms in the morning, sickness, delirium...and had now developed a symptom I'd never seen before (the skin colour change).
"Doctors are curious, or at least they should be curious...and you can't risk manage it if you haven't seen it." Dr Peter replied.
"She had a lot of this information in the records and nor did she seek the information that wasn't in the records.
"She didn't take an overall view of what was happening...this was a 12-year-old whose mother was changing him (because of such severe diarrhoea).
"Had she seen it, she wouldn't have thought it was puberty, she'd have thought 'I've never seen anything like this in my life.'"
The court has previously heard Ryan's death could have been prevented if he had been examined at any point up until a couple of hours before it happened.
Both doctors deny manslaughter through gross negligence.
Dr Rudling also denies attempting to pervert the course of justice with an entry made in Ryan's medical notes two days after he died.
The trial continues.

Clive Weatherhogg's counsel told appeal judges that prosecutors now conceded there had been a miscarriage of justice over the coercion charge.
Appeal judges also agreed that a jury was misdirected over charges relating to the footage sent to relatives.
Mr Weatherhogg, 43, was jailed last May after being found guilty by a jury.
It is understood he will now be released from prison.
Sheriff George Way had remitted the case from Dundee Sheriff Court to the High Court in Edinburgh to be dealt with because of its greater sentencing powers.
Defence counsel Shelagh McCall QC told the Court of Criminal Appeal in Edinburgh that the Crown conceded there was insufficient evidence to prove lack of consent on the coercion charge.
The Lord Justice Clerk, Lady Dorrian, who heard the appeal with Lady Paton and Lord Turnbull, said: "We are satisfied the concession is well made."
Lord Turnbull said that information conveyed to the court seemed to show that even at an earlier preparatory marking stage in the case there were concerns over a lack of corroboration.
Lady Dorrian said the appeal judges were also satisfied that misdirections given to jurors by Sheriff Way over the charges relating to the footage sent to relatives were "material and constituted a miscarriage of justice".
Mr Weatherhogg, of Guthrie, near Forfar, Angus, had denied the charges during the trial, but admitted a separate charge of uploading the film to the internet.
He was jailed for four-and-years by Lady Wolffe with an additional 18 months for the charge he admitted.
The appeal hearing was told that Mr Weatherhogg had been in custody since March last year and had served the 18 month sentence, taking into account early release provisions.

Sushi is a love-hate thing as a new video demonstrates. Casey Levi filmed the moment he tried to get his son Sam to eat a California roll with a $10 prize up for grabs. He stipulated that there must be no 'gagging or making any faces.' Footage shows the youngster stepping up to the challenge but backing down after a minute's hesitation and running off 'to be sick'. Sam says at one point just looking at the sushi fills him with 'disgust'. 'It makes me want to vomit,' he exclaims later on. Caught on camera: Casey Levi filmed the moment he tried to get his son Sam to eat a California roll with a $10 prize up for grabs. - he stipulated that there must be no 'gagging or making any faces' Food fail: Footage shows the youngster stepping up to the challenge but backing down after a minute's hesitation and running off 'to be sick' After Sam's ruled out of the game, his younger sister Charlie confidently steps up to the mark. Without deliberation the toddler stuffs the roll into her mouth using her hands to cram it in. 'Don't jump around, I don't want you to choke,' Charlie's father says as he watches her struggling to chew the large morsel. Eventually she manages to swallow the rice ball down.

An airport worker has been awarded $40 million in compensation for a freak runway accident which left him paralyzed from the waist down more than seven years ago. Brandon Afoa, 33, of Puyallup, Washington, was operating a tug to push aircraft at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport when the brakes and steering failed, causing him to crash into a luggage lift. The incident, which took place at 2am on December 26, 2007, left Afoa unable to use his legs or right arm. Much of his intestinal tract also had to be removed by surgeons. Afoa went on to sue Port of Seattle - which owns and operates the Sea-Tac airport - in King County Superior Court, saying that the company failed to maintain a safe workplace. Closure: An airport worker has been awarded $40 million in compensation for a freak runway accident which left him paralyzed from the waist down more than seven years ago . But for years the case was locked in the courts because the Port of Seattle claimed it wasn't liable for what happened as Afoa worked for a private firm. In a bid to move things forward, the state supreme court finally ruled in 2013 that the airport had a 'duty' to provide a safe working environment. On Tuesday a King County jury awarded Afoa $40 million because of what the incident has done to his life. Indeed, the paraplegic needs round-the-clock help from caregivers just to survive. In the courtroom a panel was shown video footage of Afoa being craned from his bed by a special lift to a commode and undergoing therapy. Jurors went on to apportion 25per cent of the blame for the accident to the Port of Seattle. Meanwhile, a number of airlines which weren’t part of the lawsuit will pay the rest of the money owed. This is because they had contracts with Afoa's previous employer - Evergreen Aviation Ground Logistics Enterprises - which has since gone out of business. Commenting on the outcome, Afoa told KOMO-TV: 'It was a relief and I'm very thankful for the jury for making an awesome decision.' In a statement, the Port of Seattle expressed its sympathies to Afoa and his family for the accident. The agency says it's reviewing the decision. If it decides to appeal the verdict, it could delay payment of Afoa's award.

Afoa went on to sue Port of Seattle - which owns and operates the Sea-Tac airport - in King County Superior Court, saying that the company failed to maintain a safe workplace. Closure: An airport worker has been awarded $40 million in compensation for a freak runway accident which left him paralyzed from the waist down more than seven years ago . But for years the case was locked in the courts because the Port of Seattle claimed it wasn't liable for what happened as Afoa worked for a private firm. In a bid to move things forward, the state supreme court finally ruled in 2013 that the airport had a 'duty' to provide a safe working environment. On Tuesday a King County jury awarded Afoa $40 million because of what the incident has done to his life. Indeed, the paraplegic needs round-the-clock help from caregivers just to survive. In the courtroom a panel was shown video footage of Afoa being craned from his bed by a special lift to a commode and undergoing therapy. Jurors went on to apportion 25per cent of the blame for the accident to the Port of Seattle. Meanwhile, a number of airlines which weren’t part of the lawsuit will pay the rest of the money owed. This is because they had contracts with Afoa's previous employer - Evergreen Aviation Ground Logistics Enterprises - which has since gone out of business. Commenting on the outcome, Afoa told KOMO-TV: 'It was a relief and I'm very thankful for the jury for making an awesome decision.' In a statement, the Port of Seattle expressed its sympathies to Afoa and his family for the accident. The agency says it's reviewing the decision. If it decides to appeal the verdict, it could delay payment of Afoa's award.

Christian Benteke believes it would be risky to suggest Aston Villa can be safe from relegation with one more victory. The Belgian striker, back to form under manager Tim Sherwood with eight goals in six games, said his side must continue to stretch their lead over the drop zone. Villa are six points clear of Queens Park Rangers in 18th but the gap could close this weekend with Burnley and Leicester in Premier League action and Sherwood’s team in the FA Cup semi-final. Christian Benteke rises above Fererico Fazio to head the winning goal for Aston Villa against Tottenham . Benteke points to the skies in celebration after scoring his eighth goal in six matches . Benteke said: ‘The more the better, I think it's risky to say we can take three points and we're finished. We have to try to win every game. ‘Saturday was a massive three points because now we're six points clear of QPR so it's very important for us to be far off them.’ Benteke, 24, said the match against Brendan Rodgers’ team at Wembley was the biggest of his career. ‘For the moment, yes,’ he said. ‘It (missing the World Cup) was hard but now it's in the past, I'm looking forward to playing the semi final. Benteke thinks it would be risky to think that one more win will be enough to ensure survival . ‘Liverpool are a good team but the thing with the FA Cup is it's still something special. It's 50-50 for me but some will say they are favourites. ‘Wembley is something good and special because it's a semi final, it's close to the final and we have to do everything to be there again.’ Benteke believes his partnership with Gabby Agbonalhor can destroy defences. He added: ‘He (Sherwood) said to the team we have to play to our strengths, to play with me and Gabby. ‘He helped me to destroy the defenders, with two we're always better than one. I'm comfortable, it's a good partnership.’

Everton defender John Stones was the shock name on Barcelona’s shopping list of central defenders last summer. Barcelona ended up signing 31-year-old Jeremy Mathieu from Valencia for £14.5m and 29-year-old Thomas Vermaelen from Arsenal for £15m but influential voices at the Catalan club urged then sporting director Andoni Zubizarreta to bid for 20-year-old Stones instead. According to El Pais, Barcelona were desperate for defensive reinforcements at the end of last season. The former Barnsley defender moved himself up the list of possible targets with performances for Everton that saw the youngster on the stand-by list for England’s World Cup campaign in Brazil. Everton defender John Stones was on Barcelona's list of defensive transfer targets last summer . Barcelona were desperate for reinforcements and Stones' performances caught the eye of the Catalans . His ability to play at right-back as well as centre-back played in his favour with the club preparing for the likely departure of Dani Alves currently in the final year of his contract and Barcelona's preference for central defenders with the mobility and technique to play at full-back. In the end Barcelona coach Luis Enrique insisted on the signing of Mathieu – another who can also fill-in at full-back - and Stones signed a new £30,000-a-week five-year deal keeping him at Everton until 2019. The contract was seen as a rebuff to Chelsea who were following Stones but it now also seems to have been in response to interest from La Liga leaders Barcelona. Stones signed a new £30,000-a-week five year deal keeping him at Everton until 2019 . French defender Mathieu has been a success at the Camp Nou but Vermaelen is yet to start a game for Barcelona. The Belgian arrived with a hamstring injury sustained at the World Cup and never played more than a friendly against an Indonesian XI before having an operation in Finland in December to remedy the problem. He is now training with team-mates but still some way off match fitness and while he could be available for the last month of the season Barcelona have no margin of error in the league and he may have to wait until next season to make his first start. With Vermaelen struggling to regain fitness and both Mathieu and Javier Mascherano having reached 30, Barcelona – who cannot sign anyone until January 2016 because of a Fifa ban – have not forgotten about Stones, who turns 21 at the end of May. Barcelona ended up signing Valencia defender Jeremy Mathieu who netted against Celta Vigo on Sunday . Thomas Vermaelen also moved to the Nou Camp from Arsenal but is yet to start a game for Barcelona .

A pensioner is living in fear after his Jack Russell saved him from a badger the size of a large pig with six-inch teeth. Shocked Terry Cooper, 79, was enjoying the sunshine in his garden with his dog Sam when the huge animal burst through a hedge with two cubs. Mr Cooper, from Curry Rivel, Somerset said his dog dragged him back indoors and fears he could have been attacked if his pet had not been there. Scroll down for video . Shocked: Pensioner Terry Cooper said the huge badger burst through a hedge with two cubs (stock image) Mr Cooper spotted the huge badger while sitting in his garden in the sunshine with his Jack Russell Sam . The retired charity worker said: 'I've got a little Jack Russell and I took him out just after tea at 5pm. 'Suddenly there was a badger and two little'uns in my garden. 'He was the size of a pig, with teeth about six inches long. They were as long as a lemonade bottle is wide.' 'My dog turned me round and quickly pulled me in,' Mr Cooper added. 'The badger didn't attack me, so I didn't seek medical attention, but I was left badly shaken. 'If I hadn't have had my dog there, the badger could have had me.' Following the scare, the National Farmers' Union has issued advice for residents on protecting their property from invading badgers (stock photo) He has covered the gap in his hedge with two pieces of metal and a bag of compost. Following the scare, the National Farmers' Union has issued advice for residents on protecting their property from invading badgers. Alex Stevens, South West regional policy advisor, said: 'Badgers are protected by law and people shouldn't be interfering with badgers or setts. 'This incident is really unusual and surprising, given the time at which it happened. But badgers are pretty headstrong. I suspect he was searching for an easy source of food. 'Badgers can squeeze through any gaps in fences or hedges which are bigger than 7.5 centimetres. So if you have fencing with the slats spaced more narrowly, that will help. 'Even better, people can protect their property through badger-proof fencing. This goes a foot or two into the ground so that badgers cannot tunnel underneath it. 'People should also keep the lids on their bins, and if they have a dog or a cat, don't leave their food or water bowls out in the open. 'If you do have to make contact with a badger, be sure to wash your hands afterwards.'

Advertising entrepreneur John Singleton is selling his breathtaking beach house on the central coast of New South Wales.

The motoring organisation also called for extra funding for road repairs in the chancellor's Budget next week.
The Local Government Association (LGA) said there was a £12bn backlog in road repairs that would take councils "more than a decade" to clear.
The UK government said it was providing "unprecedented levels of investment".
In an AA survey of 25,208 drivers, 39% said their tyres, bodywork or other parts of their vehicles had been affected after hitting a pothole in the past two years.
AA president Edmund King called on local authorities to "get to grips with fundamental road maintenance" such as poor drainage and crumbling surfaces.
He also said Chancellor George Osborne should allocate extra funding for road repairs to "reverse the toll on vehicles and their owners' pockets".
LGA transport spokesman Peter Box said current funding levels and the repairs backlog meant councils "can only keep pace with patching up our roads and filling potholes".
"Long-term and consistent investment in local road maintenance is desperately needed," he added.
Road maintenance is devolved to England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Transport Minister Andrew Jones said the government had allocated a "record £6bn to councils in England to improve local roads over the next five years".
"We topped this up with £250m last year specifically to tackle the blight of potholes," he said.
A Scottish Government spokesman said in the last financial year more than £220m was allocated for the maintenance of motorways and trunk roads, which it said was 20% more than five years ago.
The Welsh and Northern Irish authorities have been approached for comment.

The bodies of four people, including two young boys under the age of ten, were discovered in a Oklahoma home on Wednesday afternoon in what police suspect was a murder-suicide. The unidentified family - a 38-year-old mother, 42-year-old father and their two sons - apparently died from gunshot wounds. Tulsa police said 'based on the physical evidence inside the house', they believe the father killed his wife and children before using the gun on himself and are not seeking a suspect. Scroll down for video . A family of four, including two boys under the age of ten, was found dead in a home in Tulsa, Oklahoma . Tulsa police captain Matt McCord said the bodies may have been in the house for 'as many as two days' McCord said 'the physical evidence inside the house' indicates the father killed his wife, sons and himself . Officers found a handgun near the man's body, according to Tulsa World. Captain Matt McCord said the bodies may have been in the house 'as many as two days', based on when the four were last seen and a preliminary examination of phone records. Police found the bodies after the mother's employer requested a welfare check because she had not shown up to work for two days. They do not have a motive for the slaying, but McCord said the scene was difficult to process. He said: 'It's a tough deal for anybody to go through.' Neighbors said they were surprised by what happened and said the area is safe. Tulsa police officers found a handgun near the dead body of the father and are not seeking other suspects . Vinicio Perez said he walks his dog down the same street in the Stone Creek Farms development. Perez said he would sometimes see two children playing and bouncing around in the front yard of the home where the bodies were found. Perez told the Associated Press: 'I'm shocked. 'This place should be a place surrounded by security.' Perez's wife, Mercedes, said: 'I love this neighborhood. It's very quiet here.' Most every property in the neighborhood has a large fence, so kids can play or swim in privacy. Stephen Wiseman lived next door to the family for almost ten years. He said: They were wonderful, the most kind [and] gentle people you’d ever meet. 'Our kids played with them all day on Saturday, and … we saw the kids on Sunday.' Another neighbor reported hearing noises at the house late on Monday.

A few weeks ago we reported very real concerns about the choreography in the aftermath of the summit from Eurosceptic cabinet ministers, worried that the PM would be setting the pace and terms of the debate in its vital early hours.
While they didn't commit officially to a position, the sense in Downing Street was that there was no need to shift cabinet from its usual Tuesday spot.
They hoped and expected that cabinet ministers who wanted to campaign for exit would keep their counsel until then, when the government had adopted its official position.
But in truth, at least one senior figure had already resolved to break their silence and reveal their plan to campaign for Out over the weekend, in defiance of Number 10.
With that knowledge, and several frank conversations with Eurosceptic ministers, David Cameron's team have decided to relent. This is not just a story for political process nerds (honest), but it illustrates how Eurosceptics, although in a clear minority in the cabinet, have been able to force Downing Street's hand.
This week's summit and now, the 24 hours that follow, are shaping up to be some of the most important in David Cameron's political career.
|
This afternoon Number 10 has bowed to the inevitable, and conceded that if (and it is still an if) the deal is done at the EU summit in Brussels this week David Cameron will hold a cabinet meeting as soon as he returns to London early on Friday evening.

Jennifer is a huge fitness fan, and the mother of two has completed triathlons . We reveal how to get the enviable physiques of the stars. This week: Jennifer Lopez's arms. She's famous for her killer curves, but Jennifer Lopez's upper-body is as impeccably toned. A huge fitness fan, the mother of two has completed triathlons. She avoids sugar and salt and tries to get eight hours' sleep a night. She claims 'sometimes when I get home and I'm not feeling so great, I make myself go to the gym'. What to try: . Modified push-ups with your knees on the floor aren't just a cop-out for the real thing, they activate the entire upper body to get that J-Lo tone. Start on all fours with your hands on the floor, slightly wider apart than shoulder width. Slide your knees back and raise your feet off the floor until you are in a position where you can bend the elbows to drop your chest and push back up. Make sure you move the whole upper body, not just dipping your shoulders. Repeat 12 to 15 times. The singer/actress shows off toned arms at the Annual Academy Awards in February . Elie Saab Haute Couture gold gown . Gold sequined silk tulle dress . Visit site . Jennifer Lopez looks stunning on the red carpet in this beautifully crafted gown by Lebanese designer Elie Saab. J.Lo pulls off this plunging neckline with effortless style (and looks utterly voluptuous doing so). Her dress is embroidered with pearls, stones and sequins which seem to drip off her figure like caramel sauce on vanilla ice cream. She pairs the dress with classic drop diamond earrings, a gold clutch and matching pale pink lips and nails. Wish you could look as glamorous as J.Lo?

Jennifer is a huge fitness fan, and the mother of two has completed triathlons . We reveal how to get the enviable physiques of the stars. This week: Jennifer Lopez's arms. She's famous for her killer curves, but Jennifer Lopez's upper-body is as impeccably toned. A huge fitness fan, the mother of two has completed triathlons. She avoids sugar and salt and tries to get eight hours' sleep a night. She claims 'sometimes when I get home and I'm not feeling so great, I make myself go to the gym'. What to try: . Modified push-ups with your knees on the floor aren't just a cop-out for the real thing, they activate the entire upper body to get that J-Lo tone. Start on all fours with your hands on the floor, slightly wider apart than shoulder width. Slide your knees back and raise your feet off the floor until you are in a position where you can bend the elbows to drop your chest and push back up. Make sure you move the whole upper body, not just dipping your shoulders. Repeat 12 to 15 times. The singer/actress shows off toned arms at the Annual Academy Awards in February . Elie Saab Haute Couture gold gown . Gold sequined silk tulle dress . Visit site . Jennifer Lopez looks stunning on the red carpet in this beautifully crafted gown by Lebanese designer Elie Saab. J.Lo pulls off this plunging neckline with effortless style (and looks utterly voluptuous doing so). Her dress is embroidered with pearls, stones and sequins which seem to drip off her figure like caramel sauce on vanilla ice cream. She pairs the dress with classic drop diamond earrings, a gold clutch and matching pale pink lips and nails. Wish you could look as glamorous as J.Lo?

On Wednesday the US Congress voted for a law allowing families of nearly 3,000 people killed in the attacks to sue.
In doing so they overrode a veto by President Barack Obama, who said it would set a "dangerous precedent".
Fifteen of the 19 hijackers that day were Saudi nationals, but the kingdom has denied any role in the attacks.
In a statement, the country's foreign ministry said: "The erosion of sovereign immunity will have a negative impact on all nations, including the United States."
The 9/11 bill row, explained
Their argument parallels the one made by Mr Obama. He said on CNN after the vote that the law set a "dangerous precedent" and could lead to the US being opened to "a situation where we're suddenly exposed to liabilities for all the work that we're doing all around the world and suddenly finding ourselves subject to private lawsuits".
Meanwhile, leaders of the Republican party in Congress have said they want to reconsider the law. The Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell admitted that lawmakers had not understood the possible consequences of the legislation.
"Everybody was aware of who the potential beneficiaries were but nobody really had focused on the downside in terms of our international relationships,'" Mr McConnell said.
The White House spokesman Josh Earnest said it was "a pretty classic case of rapid onset buyer's remorse".
On CNN, Mr Obama also suggested that that voting patterns in Congress were influenced by political concerns.
"If you're perceived as voting against 9/11 families right before an election, not surprisingly, that's a hard vote for people to take," he said.
"But it would have been the right thing to do."
Saudi Arabia, an oil-rich kingdom and key US ally in the Middle East, had lobbied furiously against the Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism (Jasta) legislation.
It has stopped short of specifying how it might retaliate but has called on Congress to reverse the decision.
Relatives of those killed in 9/11 have welcomed the bill's passing.
"We rejoice in this triumph and look forward to our day in court and a time when we may finally get more answers regarding who was truly behind the attacks," said Terry Strada, national chair of the 9/11 Families & Survivors United for Justice Against Terrorism.

Saudi Arabia's foreign ministry has said it is a matter of "great concern" that 9/11 relatives in the US may be able to sue the kingdom for damages.

On 14 April 1945, just a month before the end of World War Two, 10 US servicemen and one woman died after their Flying Fortress bomber crashed in the Isle of Man.
Lt Robert Vielle, an experienced and decorated pilot, had been flying a B-17G from England to Northern Ireland when he hit bad weather over the Irish Sea.
The aircraft veered off-course by several miles before coming down and bursting into flames in a field above Port St May.
The exact cause of the crash has never been ascertained.
Those on board had been sent on a peaceful mission to Northern Ireland to collect supplies of whiskey for a party at the US Army Air Force station at Thurleigh in Essex.
Ivor Ramsden, a keen historian and aviation expert, said the flight was an example of the "sheer madness of war".

It started as a mission to collect whiskey for a party towards the end of World War Two and ended in a blazing inferno in which 11 US personnel died.

The call comes after at least four people were killed in clashes between police and protesters.
Pascal Tsaty Mabiala of the PanAfrican Union for Social Democracy wants to stop Sunday's vote going ahead.
President Denis Sassou Nguesso has been in power since 1997.
The vote is aimed at pushing through changes to the constitution such as scrapping age and two-term limits.
Police fired shots and tear gas in the capital, Brazzaville, on Tuesday in a clamp down on protests against the president's bid for a third term.
Texting and internet services were cut and public meetings banned ahead of the referendum, residents said.
Other journalists told the BBC that most shops in Brazzaville were shut, and people were staying at home amid fears of violence.
"People are demonstrating across the city. The police are firing tear gas bombs," Tresor Nzila, head of the Congolese Observatory of Human Rights, told the Reuters news agency.
"In certain places, the police have fired warning shots with live fire."
The opposition have been campaigning under the slogan "Sassoufit", a pun on the French expression for "that's enough".

'This year my wife has decided to take us all youth hosteling, I told her at her age she would be better off with Saga. 'We are taking two of our children. 1 Daughter in law, plus 1 grandson. No internet, mobile phones, playstations etc. 'Personally I think we will all be bored to tears. She who must be obeyed says we will have a great time telling tales round the campfire etc. Fish and chips is a traditional British dish often enjoyed with tomato ketchup and mushy peas . He ended the note by saying: 'I would rather be here with beer + TV. Can't wait to be home to see you soon. Sorry for any inconvenience.' The note, which was written on two A4 pieces of paper and stuck to the window, was posted around a month ago but was circulated on Twitter this week. This isn't the first time a hilarious note has been spotted in a store window. Recently an eagle-eyed woman in North London spotted an add in a newsagents from a man looking for a lover.

It then details a phone number and says: 'Contact... Or call me for interview must be female between 30yrs - 40yrs.' Unfortunately for prospective lovers, John did not specify precisely what the 'craft' referred to was.

The Saracens and England international fly-half has been sidelined since suffering a knee ligament injury against Clermont in the Champions Cup in January. Farrell missed the entire RBS 6 Nations campaign as a result, with Bath's George Ford filling the number 10 shirt in accomplished fashion as England finished second behind title winners Ireland. Owen Farrell is hoping to be fit for Saracens' Champions Cup semi-final clash against Clermont on April 18 . Farrell has been out of action since he suffered a knee ligament injury against the same opponents in January . Asked if he hoped to be back for the semi-final, Farrell told BT Sport: 'I'm hoping to be. The knee is feeling good. 'I did everything yesterday - ran, kicked, tackled, got stuck in. I was blowing a bit, but I was alright . 'So we will see how I get on in training this week, and we'll make a decision then.' Saracens return to Aviva Premiership action this weekend against play-off rivals Leicester at Allianz Park, before tacking Clermont in Saint Etienne seven days later. Farrell missed the entire RBS 6 Nations because of the injury with George Frod (left) excelling in his absence .

Baroness Newlove said 15% of victims had been given the opportunity to make a victim statement in 2015/16.
She said there had been little change since 2013 - when figures were first complied - and "more needs to be done".
The Ministry of Justice said it will spend £70m helping victims this year.
As part of an official code of practice, every victim who reports a crime is entitled to write a statement about how the offence has affected their life.
If a suspect is convicted in court, a victim statement can be read out before sentencing - as well as later at a parole hearing.
However, in a report about the situation in England and Wales, Baroness Newlove said victims given had been given the chance of making statements in only 15% of cases.
The right of victims to make a statement should be enshrined in law, the commissioner added, with sanctions for police and other agencies if they did not offer the service.
"Enough is enough," said Baroness Newlove, who has campaigned against violence since her husband, Garry, was attacked and killed by youths outside their Warrington home in 2007.
"No-one can claim that victims are 'at the heart of the criminal justice system' when these figures suggest that the Victims' Code is no more than a wish list," she added.
"More needs to be done to support victims of crime."
She added: "There are laws in place to protect the rights of offenders - but nothing to protect the rights of victims. Yet again victims' rights are being ignored."
A Ministry of Justice spokesman welcomed the report, saying it would consider its findings carefully.
The government has allocated £67.85m to Police and Crime Commissioners (PCCs) in 2016/17, and again in 2017/18, to support victims of crime, the spokesman said.
"It is vital that blameless victims see swift and certain justice, which is why we have protected the victims' budget and given PCCs almost £70m to support victims in their areas.
"We have long committed to strengthening victims' rights, to ensure the most vulnerable get the support they deserve," the spokesman added.

Dr Helen Nicoll, 53, was found dead at home in Frog End, Great Wilbraham, Cambridgeshire, on Friday.
Her husband and partner in their dental practice, Stephen Nicoll, 53, was arrested on suspicion of murder before being released on Tuesday.
A post-mortem examination revealed Mrs Nicoll died from asphyxiation.
Mr Nicoll was released by police with no further action and his bail cancelled.
The couple had three children and worked together in their clinic in Hurst Park, Cambridge while Mr Nicoll also practises in London's Harley Street.
Mr Nicoll said in a statement: "These last few days have been the worst of my life.
"Nobody can understand the true loss that my children and I have experienced following the discovery that my wife Helen has taken her own life.
"I would ask everybody, particularly the media, to respect our privacy and allow us to come to terms with our devastating loss and to begin the grieving process as a family following this tragedy."
He added his family had "fully co-operated" with police and his wife's death had been referred to the coroner.
Mr Nicoll's solicitor Paul Oliver said: "The arrest of Mr Nicoll in the immediate aftermath of the death of his beloved wife and the consequential media interest in this tragic case compounded the distress caused to him and his family.
"The police have confirmed Mr Nicoll is not a suspect and he and his family now ask that their right to grieve in private be respected."

In a video posted online by a Christian group, Angus T Jones said he no longer wanted to take part.
The 19-year-old explained that the show's raunchy humour conflicted with his recent bible studies.
Jones, who has been in the show since he was 10, said viewers should question the impact such programmes had on them.
The clip was posted by the Forerunner Christian Church in California, where Jones, who reportedly makes $350,000 (£218,000) an episode, says he sought spiritual guidance.
"I'm on Two and a Half Men and I don't want to be on it. Please stop watching it," he says in the online video. "Please stop filling your head with filth. Please. It's, you know, people say it's just entertainment."
He adds: "Do some research on the effects of television and your brain and I promise you you'll have a decision to make when it comes to the television and especially with what you watch on television. It's bad news. It's bad news."
Warner Bros Television, which produces the show, and CBS, which airs it, have made no comment.
In Two and a Half Men, which has run for nine seasons, Jones is the underachieving son of an uptight father, played by Jon Cryer.
The series originally starred Charlie Sheen as the womanising uncle of Jones's character.
But Sheen was fired in March last year after a bizarre rant against the show's lead writer, and Ashton Kutcher replaced him.

Programme makers did not disclose the comments made by Biggins, who had been the bookmakers' favourite to win.
But they said the Channel 5 show "does not tolerate offensive language".
Biggins, 67, had sparked controversy four days earlier over comments that bisexual people were "the worst type".
Opening Friday's live show - which saw presenter Anthea Turner's ex-husband Grant Bovey voted out of the house - presenter Emma Willis made brief reference to Biggins' removal but gave no details.
A statement posted on the Celebrity Big Brother website said the show had "taken the decision to remove Christopher Biggins".
"Since entering Big Brother, he has made a number of comments capable of causing great offence to housemates and the viewing public," it said.
"Big Brother does not tolerate offensive language capable of causing widespread offence."
During a conversation about homosexuality earlier this week, the openly gay star said: "The worst type though is, I'm afraid to say, the bisexuals... what it is is people not wanting to admit they are gay."
He was then seen agreeing with fellow contestant Renee Graziano's comment that "You have to pick a team".
The programme's producers have not said whether these comments were among those that they considered before ordering Biggins to leave the house.
Two of the other housemates have received official warnings from Big Brother over their behaviour in the show's first week.
US singer Aubrey O'Day was warned for spitting in reality TV star Stephen Bear's sandwich.
Bear himself received a warning after throwing a mug, which smashed a glass window, following a row with Heavy D from the TV show Storage Hunters.
Biggins won ITV show I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! in 2007.
The other contestants on this year's Celebrity Big Brother are: Renee Graziano of TV's Mob Wives; former X Factor contestants Chloe Khan and Katie Waissel; US actor Frankie Grande; reality TV stars Lewis Bloor and Marnie Simpson, former EastEnders actor Ricky Norwood; Loose Women presenter Saira Khan, and former model Samantha Fox.

Tall and like football? Go and play centre-back. Enjoy rugby union and have a bit of pace? Winger.
Step forward Somerset's Dom Bess, who took 6-28 on his County Championship debut on Tuesday.
How did he come to bowl off-spin?
"I was always a little porker when I was younger, so I never took the long run-up," he said.
"I always took five or six steps and just trotted in."
Bess now has the best figures by a Somerset debutant for 55 years, since Tony Pearson returned 7-63 against Worcestershire in 1961, according to the Guardian.
But any 'puppy fat' the 19-year-old may have had has long gone, with the help of strength and conditioning coach Darren Veness.
"I met Daz and he made me run a lot, which I'm grateful for now," Bess told BBC Radio Bristol.
"Ask Daz about me, I was always a porker."
Just a month ago Bess, from Sidmouth, was taking 6-65 for Devon in the Minor Counties Championship as they lost to bottom-of-the-table Oxfordshire.
At Taunton, however, his victims included Ian Bell and Jonathan Trott, who have played a combined total of 170 Tests for England.
His family have a strong presence in the sport, with cousins Zac and Josh also representing Devon, but who was at the County Ground to watch his moment of glory?
"Dad was on holiday and mum was working, so I just had my girlfriend, her parents and a couple of my mates (watching)," he said.
"I think dad will be a bit disappointed - he's gone to Greece, somewhere like that, for a week away."
|
Whether it comes down to skill level, body shape, or pure accident, anyone who has played a sport will have some memory of how they came to be given a particular role.

"Ask Daz about me, I was always a porker."
Just a month ago Bess, from Sidmouth, was taking 6-65 for Devon in the Minor Counties Championship as they lost to bottom-of-the-table Oxfordshire.
At Taunton, however, his victims included Ian Bell and Jonathan Trott, who have played a combined total of 170 Tests for England.
His family have a strong presence in the sport, with cousins Zac and Josh also representing Devon, but who was at the County Ground to watch his moment of glory?
"Dad was on holiday and mum was working, so I just had my girlfriend, her parents and a couple of my mates (watching)," he said.
"I think dad will be a bit disappointed - he's gone to Greece, somewhere like that, for a week away."

Writing on his Instagram account, the singer explained he was "taking the opportunity of not having to be anywhere... to travel the world".
He also confirmed to fans that his third album is "on its way" and "is the best thing I have made thus far".
Sheeran has 16 million Twitter and 5.5 million Instagram followers.
He has just completed a world tour of his number one album x (pronounced "multiply") in Auckland, New Zealand.
Before the final show, he also tweeted that he was "buggering off for a while".
His world tour saw him play three sold out dates at London's Wembley Stadium.
His second album x topped the chart in the UK, Australia and the US and was nominated for album of the year at the Grammys. It won the Brit award in the same category.
Sheeran recently set up his own label, Gingerbread Man Records, and signed newcomer Jamie Lawson - whose album topped the UK chart - and Northern Irish singer Foy Vance.
