With the testimonies of the prosecution witnesses Joseph Iosif, otherwise Sifi, and Christos Dimitriou, otherwise Tsiakka, close friends of Alexis Mavromichalis, otherwise Alexoui, the hearing process for the quadruple murder that took place on the night of June 23, 2016, continued today.
The victims of the attack were businessman Fanos Kalopsidiotis, police officer Elias Hadjiefuthymiou, his wife Skevi Hadjieffthymiou and Yiani Vogli, one of the perpetrators.
The accused are Loy Dejan 42 years old, Marios Christodoulou, 39 years old, Panagiotis Pentavkas 38 years old and Sofia Grigoriou 28 years old, who jointly face the charges of conspiracy to murder, premeditated murder, attempted murder, acts aimed at provoking damage, possession of a Class B firearm, possession of a Class A firearm, possession of a Class B firearm and possession of a Class A firearm.
The witnesses spoke of a hostile attitude of Marios Christodoulos, otherwise Benis, towards Alexis Mavromichalis and that they knew that he wanted to hurt all three without knowing the reason or when and how he would act. Examining, Marios Christodoulos's defense attorney, Michalis Pikis, testified to both witnesses that his client was not hostile nor did he want to harm any of the three.
Two officials from the Department of Population and Immigration Records and the Aliens and Immigration Service also testified that Dejan Loi, a bodyguard, arrived in Cyprus a month and a half before the quadruple murder.
He first came on April 14, 2016, however, he was not allowed to enter because while he initially said he was coming to Cyprus for tourism, when asked why he did not have a return ticket, he changed his claim and said he had arrived in Cyprus to work as a security guard in nightclub in Ayia Napa.
That is why he immediately returned to Bucharest from where he had arrived to return to Cyprus on May 6, 2016. According to the Population and Immigration Archive, he remained illegally in Cyprus and a deportation order was obtained, which was canceled when he was arrested on suspicion of the quadruple murder. Loi's lawyer denied that his client was in Cyprus illegally.
