In fact, during his apology outside the courts, the mother and the wife of the unfortunate breeder were present, while there were also minor tensions.

The Mixed Jury Court of Lassithi imposed a life sentence on the 28-year-old Romanian for the murder of the 39-year-old farmer that occurred in August 2021 in Petrokefali.

It is recalled that earlier the 28-year-old Romanian was found guilty by the Court of his murder.

At the same time, his 31-year-old Romanian co-accused was declared innocent (by a vote of 6-1, the president of the Court abstained), by the Mixed Jury Court of Lassithi, although he was accused of direct complicity in homicide.

The timeline of the crime

It is recalled that the 28-year-old Romanian was found guilty of killing the unfortunate farmer in cold blood while he was on the balcony of his house while his 8-year-old daughter was inside.

The court adjourned before the hearing had even begun as two key witnesses were absent. Finally, he decided that the case and the forcible bringing of the two witnesses should be heard properly.

It was shortly after 10 pm on Monday, August 23 when the 39-year-old breeder was at his home in Petrokefali.

One of his two daughters was with him while his wife had thrown herself into a job she had.

The 39-year-old was in the yard when the 27-year-old, who was hiding in the shadows at the time, took aim with the rifle and fired five times at him.

The unfortunate man was fatally wounded in the abdomen, face and hands while the 27-year-old fled in an unknown direction.

The police were called to the scene and began investigations to identify the perpetrator. Within a few hours, the police investigated the case and arrested the 27-year-old, who confessed to his act.

He was remanded in custody with the agreement of the investigator and prosecutor

As soon as he confessed, the 27-year-old began to describe what he experienced in the 39-year-old’s work. The perpetrator in his testimony claimed that he was also a victim as the 39-year-old treated him brutally and had violent outbursts.

At the same time, he pointed out that they had several financial differences. From the family’s point of view, all this is characterized as “fiction”.

It is worth noting that a few days after the crime, the 27-year-old was remanded in custody with the agreement of the investigator and prosecutor.

In fact, during his apology outside the courts, the mother and the wife of the unfortunate breeder were present, while there were also minor tensions.
