Man gets 15 years for manslaughter

A 32-year-old man was sentenced to 15 years in jail on Thursday for the killing of Angelos Phedonos, 46, from Nicosia.

Stelios Mavroloukas had pleaded guilty to manslaughter.

The victim’s body was discovered in the lobby of the defunct Beau Rivage hotel, on the coast of Larnaca, on August 1.

A state pathologist said Phedonos had suffered five blows to the head and carried other wounds elsewhere in his body.

Phedonos lived with his mother in Latsia and worked in the warehouse of a pharmaceutical company.

Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
