Cyprus: Trial Continues in Case of Teenager's Suicide

The trial continues regarding the suicide of 14-year-old Stylianos Konstantinou, with the testimony of three police officers. During the hearing, the lawyer for one of the defendants, a social worker, requested more details regarding the indictment, arguing that it does not clearly state the legislation that forms the basis of her duty. The request was denied by the court. The indictment includes a total of 218 charges against 11 individuals, including the child's parents and social workers, for events and omissions that led to the child's death. The charges focus on physical and psychological violence, failure to report incidents of violence, and neglect of duty. During today's hearing, an electronic record of a complaint filed by the second defendant was submitted, reporting threats from her husband.
