The father of the 16-year-old Roma boy has apologized for the inflammatory statements and threats he made all these days against the policeman who seriously injured his son in Thessaloniki by shooting him in the head.
"I apologize to his family and his children, his children are not to blame for anything. But I want the policeman to be tried," he said, speaking to MEGA.
It will be recalled that the 16-year-old's father had said in statements that if the authorities let the policeman go free, he would make him "pay with the same coin".
"If they release the policeman, I will do to his child what he did to mine."
"If they release the policeman, I don't know where I will end up either. He's got two kids, that cop. He's raising two kids... What did he do to my kid? He'll pay for it in the same coin. What he did to my kid, I'll do to his kid. That's all I have to say... Can you put him in? Can justice put him away? If he puts him away, it'll all go away quietly. Everything will be quiet. If the prosecutor and the investigating judge put him in tomorrow and remand him in custody, everything will be peaceful. If he lets him go free, I don't know where I'll end up," the 16-year-old's father had said.
It should be noted that Alexis Kougias - in yesterday's statements - had argued that the man should be prosecuted for a number of offences.
They seek justice
The wife of the injured 16-year-old Roma boy, speaking to MEGA, calls for justice to be done and prays for their man to get well and return to them soon. "I want justice so that the prosecutor can put him on trial and that he gets well. I pray that he gets well and he will. That he goes in, that he never gets out. God is big and He sees," the 16-year-old's wife said."
With tears in their eyes, the 16-year-old's family is fighting for his health and counting the hours one by one while caring for his seven-month-old daughter. "We live like crap, we want Kostas to come back. We want justice" says the 16-year-old's mother-in-law.
