The woman who was the motive for the bloody murders of three young men in Limassol fainted when she appeared in court, reports the state broadcaster.
Brothers Parascho and Constantinos Dorzi, aged 19 and 21, and their friend Emilios Miltiadous were all killed when 31-year-old Christos Thoma attacked them with a knife after a fight over the woman in November 2015.
The perpetrator threatened them with a knife while they were in Thoma’s father’s Lokatzi restaurant and they fled in fear for their lives. He then chased after them, killing them on the road in a stabbing frenzy, then fleeing the scene of the carnage.
Christos Thoma’s murder trial started on January 12th. He has confessed to killing the three young men in Limassol after a dispute over the woman but later changed his mind and pleaded not guilty.
Father-of-two Christos Thoma had a violent background and was heavily into martial arts and bodybuilding. The suspect’s 62-year-old father was also arrested early in the morning of November 25th, 2015 – both men have been in trouble in the past for burglaries, theft and drug dealing. Thoma went on the run for three days, managing to evade a search carried out by helicopters criss-crossing around Limassol and surrounding areas. He was arrested in Lania after a three-day manhunt on November 26th, after a tip-off from a member of the public.
The trial has been postponed until October 20th.
