What is happening

What the sources report

The Mixed Jury Court of Kos imposed prison sentences on the two defendants for the robbery and murder of 75-year-old Giorgos Karyotis.[1]

The 42-year-old was sentenced to two life sentences for the homicide and robbery, while the victim's son was sentenced to life imprisonment for the robbery.[1]

The 75-year-old was found dead on 14 June 2022 at his home in the Medieval Town of Rhodes, with a rope around his neck and his hands tied.[1]

In December 2025 the 42-year-old testified before a court that he had committed the murder alone and that the victim's son was innocent.[2]

The son had already been sentenced to life imprisonment in March 2024 for the murder of his father and has appealed.[2]
