The case for the murder of the American tourist in Laganas Zakynthos in 2017, is being heard in the second instance in the Mixed Jury Court of Appeal of Patras after the appeal filed by the prosecutor, considering that the sentence imposed in a previous degree was not commensurate with the crime that shocked of Zakynthos but also the whole of Greece.
At the last court hearing, the prosecutor proposed the guilt of all for intentional homicide together with possible deceit for all six defendants.
“I’m sorry for what happened – I had no idea he was dead”
In his apology, the main defendant is an English national of Bosnian Serb origin. He is one of the six accused in the case, but the only one who remains in prison to this day. He had been sentenced at first instance to death for intentional bodily harm without parole. He is present at all the trials, and as he apologized in court, “I wanted Bacary Henderson’s family to be here today, to tell them I’m sorry for what happened.”
The fateful night in Laganas
It is recalled that in the early hours of July 7, 2017, Bakari and his friends were having fun in a bar in Laganas, Zakynthos, when for a selfie photo with a waitress, a fierce quarrel broke out with Serbian patrons verbally attacking Bakari’s company.
The brawl that started inside the store without Bakari being guilty led to the chase of the young man from Texas and his brutal beating to death by at least 9 people. The video with the murderous blows to the body and head of Bakari on a main street of Laganas that saw the light made the rounds of the world shocking relatives and friends of the unfortunate young man. The unfortunate Bakari was running to escape from his pursuers but a strong kick to the side threw him in the back of a parked car and he immediately fell to the ground.
