Funeral for 20-year-old Murdered in Kalamaria - 2 Suspects Sought

The 20-year-old who was murdered in Kalamaria will be buried today at the Church of Saint Basil in Sykies. Authorities continue to search for two individuals involved in the case, while the 23-year-old who surrendered has been remanded in custody and will testify on Tuesday. The 23-year-old initially denied the knife was his, but later changed his statement, claiming he had it for self-defense. The charges against the two wanted individuals relate to aggravated assault and possession of items capable of causing harm. The case does not appear to be linked to the case of the so-called "self-appointed vigilantes targeting pedophiles". According to the 23-year-old's testimony, he and his friends had ambushed him.
