Cyprus, May 2020
The Attorney General of Cyprus has announced a criminal investigation after police bungled the investigation into Cyprus’ first serial killer.
15 officers are being investigated as they could have been negligent or even broken the law by not taking reports of disappearing people seriously. The police complaints authority reported that some police officers may have gone just making oversights, although no details are available of what they did yet.
The killer himself was army captain Nicholas Metaxas, a 35 year old who was sentenced to seven consecutive life terms after convicted of killing 3 Filipino women and the daughter of one of these women; a Romanian mother and daughter; and a woman from Nepal.
