The murder trial of Costas Antoniou, accused of premeditatedly killing Charalambos Constantinides, is set to begin on January 7 at a British bases court in Cyprus. The shocking incident occurred during a financial dispute in an autobody paint shop in Ormidia, where Antoniou allegedly shot Constantinides in the head with a hunting rifle, a confession that has left the community reeling.
The Ormidia murder trial has been adjourned due to a change in legal counsel for defendant Costas Antoniou, with proceedings set to resume on July 24. Antoniou, accused of the murder of Charalambos Constantinides, confessed to the crime, leaving the community in shock as they await justice in this highprofile case.
The trial for the murder of Zehie Helin Reessur, a Turkish Cypriot girl, has been delayed once again due to unresolved discussions between the accused’s defense lawyer and the defendant’s family. This decision prolongs the trial, which has already been delayed for 338 days since the incident, and has sparked a collective mourning and frustration within the local community.
