Murder in English law

An appeal by officers Epaminondas Korkoneas (photo) and Vassilis Saraliotis, convicted for the murder of 15-year-old Alexis Grigoropoulos in Exarchia, central Athens, has been postponed to March 2015. Korkoneas shot the youngster in December 2008.

A Thessaloniki court on Monday convicted a couple for beating their 7-year-old son to death in 2006.

The northern city’s appeals court sentenced the victim’s mother to life in prison, while the father received 10 years.

Charges against the parents, who are from Albania, included homicide and grievous bodily harm.
