[01] lleged 'hit-men' wanted for Cyprus multiple murders to face
extradition
An Appeals Justices Council on Tuesday approved the extradition of
two Greek men wanted in connection with the ambush murders of five
body guards in the centre of Cyprus' Agia Napa holiday district on
June 23. The appeals justices' decided to grant the request by Cypriot
authorities means that the two men stand trial in Cyprus for killing
three Cypriot nationals and two Romanian nationals, employed as body
guards by a Cypriot businessman.
The two suspects are a 29-year-old local that police say has links with
self-styled "anti-establishment" groups and a 41-year-old linked to past
drug-dealing cases.
Sources said the 29-year-old, who Cypriot authorities claim carried
out the shootings of the five victims, agreed to his extradition. The
41-year-old, by contrast, objected to his extradition on the grounds
that there is outstanding legal action against him before Greek courts.
