chlorakas boy — In the Chlorakas boy’s death case, lawyer Petros Stavrou is raising concerns over his client’s ongoing detention following the tragic incident involving a three-year-old boy. The child died after falling from a fourth-floor window at a hotel in Paphos on July 12, prompting a police investigation.
Stavrou, representing the boy’s father, revealed that despite submitting a request for his client’s immediate release on July 14, he has yet to receive any response. “The man remains in custody over the weekend,” Stavrou stated, highlighting the lack of communication from authorities regarding the case.
After the police sent the investigation file to the Law Office with a recommendation for further actions, Stavrou was informed that it had been returned to the police for additional inquiries. He expressed frustration at the ambiguity surrounding his client’s status, questioning what further investigation could justify his continued detention.
The father had requested his release in a letter to Police Headquarters, emphasising the need to personally inform his five-year-old daughter about her brother’s death. Until now, the child has only been told that her brother is in hospital.
Stavrou confirmed that the eight-day detention order issued by the Paphos District Court would expire on Tuesday, July 21, 2026, raising further questions about the case’s progress and the father’s future. He noted that the absence of a court appearance or update has left the family in limbo, with both the family and the young boy’s body awaiting clarity on the situation.
As the investigation continues, the family is grappling with their loss while seeking answers from the authorities. The emotional toll on them is palpable, and the lawyer is advocating for a swift resolution to allow the father to be with his family during this difficult time.
