Doctor sentenced for the death of little Stavros Giorgallis - He was found guilty for the death of the student in May 2018

The Larnaca District Court imposed a sentence on Dr. Heracles Pantelidakis, who was found guilty for the death in May 2018 of student Stavros Giorgallis, 10 years old from Klaydia, Larnaca district, bringing the curtain down on the tragic case.

The Court imposed on Dr. Pantelidakis a prison sentence of 18 months with three years suspension.

Upon hearing the sentence, the mother of young Stavros erupted shouting "you are not ashamed. Vengeance is the Lord's. You can't imagine what my husband and I go through every day."

With a bowed head the doctor replied "I'm sorry".

During the previous hearing, Yannis Polychronis, the defendant's defense attorney, argued for mitigation of his client's sentence and said among other things that the 41-year-old doctor disagrees with the Court's conviction, which he intends to appeal, noting, however, that "legally the decision of the House is a valid and enforceable decision of a primary criminal court".

The tragic end of little Stavros

It is recalled that the 10-year-old boy was transferred to Larnaca General Hospital, when, while playing basketball during gymnastics at the Aletriko Primary School where he was attending, he fell to the ground and hit his head. After being examined by doctors from the Accident and Emergency Department, he was discharged and a few hours later, his mother took the 10-year-old back to the hospital after he had headaches. The 10-year-old was subsequently taken by ambulance to Nicosia General Hospital where he died in the operating theatre.
