Police search for man connected to teen drug death

Police on Wednesday issued a wanted person bulletin for 39-year-old Charalambos Sakko, in connection with a manslaughter investigation over the death of a teenager in Limassol

Sakko, from the Trachoni area in Limassol, is wanted for the illegal supply of class A drugs and illegal possession of class A and B drugs on June 14 this year.

The 18-year-old had been supplied with drugs at a café in Trachoni which resulted in him falling into a coma and eventually dying a day before his 18th birthday earlier this month.

Three Syrian nationals had been arrested in connection with supplying the boy with methamphetamine, while Sakko is the cafeteria owner.
