Mother Alki Kampanou: “What did my Leventi do to you? Look at me,” he said to the 12 defendants

The mother of 19-year-old Alkis Kampanou, Melina Kakoulidou, from the witness stand, during her testimony at the trial for her son’s murder, in the early hours of February 1, 2022 in the Harilaou area, put her eyes on the 12 accused and said: “I’m Alki’s mother. Look at me, raise your head!“.

“If they had a grain of truth, they would look me in the eye, because in my eyes they would see alkies too‘ Ms Kakoulidou stressed in her statement. She spoke of “brutality” and addressed a huge “why‘ to the accused.

The witness wondered “why did they kill him? Was it a fight, was it a death day?“. and he again turned to the defendants and said: “What has my Leventi done to you? It was 1.90‘ he said significantly, commenting on the forensic findings detailing the beatings the 19-year-old received, he stressed ‘thirty strokes for my child. They smashed his skull. And nobody has? That alone is beyond me“.

Referring to the defendants, who she named one by one, she said no one once apologized, while describing her son’s character, she said:from a young age he accepted everyone, had a strong personality, knew his limits“.

It was, as he pointed out, “a child full of gifts, smiles, sincerity, lack of ego. There was no chance at home that there would be a fight between me and my husband and Alkis wouldn’t say: ‘Find a way to solve your problems when you are your age“.
