There are staggering developments in the case of the death of 19-year-old Myrto, which continues to shock Kefalonia and cause intense upheaval in the local community.
After marathon apologies before the investigating judge, all three accused were sent to prison, with a joint decision of the investigating judge and the prosecutor. They have been charged with manslaughter by omission, a particularly serious felony, and the investigation remains ongoing at other levels.
The 26-year-old and 23-year-old were in the same hotel room with Myrto, while the 22-year-old claimed he was in the next room. Despite his claim, the investigating judge ruled that he too should be remanded in custody.
Sources cited by local medium ekefalonia.gr said that the findings so far, combined with testimonies and audio-visual material, appear to have contributed decisively to the decision to remand them in custody.
The case has plunged the local community into mourning, causing at the same time intense anger, with citizens closely following the developments and asking for clear answers and vindication for the unjust loss of the young woman.
At the same time, the competent authorities are continuing their intensive investigations, seeking to fully clarify the circumstances under which the tragedy occurred.
Crowds of people have gathered at the courts as the decision to remand the defendants in the case of the death of 19-year-old Myrtou in custody was announced.
