Sentencing set for two defendants in Stylianos suicide trial

The Nicosia district court will pass sentence on May 15 for two of 11 defendants charged with dereliction of duty in the trial into the suicide of 14-year-old Stylianos Constantinou in September 2019.

The two are the fifth and seventh defendants, who changed their pleas to guilty – a social services officer who admitted to three charges and a welfare services officer who admitted to one.

During Thursday’s proceedings, the court rejected an objection by one of the defendants regarding multiple indictments.
