LEDRA MURDER - LENGTHY SENTENCES IMPOSED ON FIVE MEN

 Filenews 2 November 2020



The perpetrator of the murder committed on Ledra Street on the night of 21 June with a 21-year-old man from India was sentenced to life in prison after a fierce brawl between his fellow citizens. Four others involved were sentenced to years in prison.

It is noted that six persons involved in the case were brought before the court and the defendant who inflicted the fatal stab wounds on the 21-year-old accepted the sentence of life imprisonment. Three other defendants were given a 14-year prison sentence, while a fifth defendant in possession of a knife before the scuffle was given a 17-year prison sentence. The last four were charged, among other things, with attempted murder. One of the six was suspended at the request of the prosecution.

According to the facts of the case, the defendants, in their entirety, on the evening of 21 June went to the area around Ledra, with knives and offensive objects with them in order to use them to attack another group of their fellow citizens. A fierce scuffle ensued between the two groups, resulting in the 21-year-old being killed while the other defendants attempted to kill two other people.

After the deadly attack on the 21-year-old, the assailant fled along with the other defendants and another person still wanted by authorities.

For its part, the defense of the four defendants noted that they did not go to the scene after premeditation to kill, while they claimed that they were not in possession of knives and were at the scene when a fight broke out between the two groups.
