More missing remains identified
THE REMAINS of a family of four Greek Cypriots murdered in their Lapithos home in 1974 have been identified among bodies of people missing or considered killed since the Turkish invasion.
Assistant spokesman of the Greek Cypriot side’s commission for the missing Xenoforos Kallis said the family - two adults, a boy and a girl - were discovered when the house’s new Turkish settler residents had attempted to construct an extra room in 2002. The bodies were handed over to the Greek Cypriot commission for the missing after authorities in the north concluded their own investigations. Kallis said the family had not been listed on the catalogue of the missing, but had been considered ‘fallen’ as a consequence of the war. He also said that it was believed that the two children had suffered from some kind of disability that had made it difficult for them to leave their house.
Kallis also announced that the remains of five National Guardsmen whose arrest by Turkish forces on August 14, 1974 had been documented on film but whose fate had never been fully determined, were now known to be Antonaki Korelli, Panicos Nicolaou, Christoforos Kordi, Ioannis Papianni and Phillipos Hadjikyriakou. Their remains were found along with those of 14 other people in a well in the village of Djiaos. He said that the identification of the other 14 people had not yet been determined as DNA tests were still pending.
