Regarding the suspect who escaped yesterday from the Athalassa Hospital, and who has been hospitalized since January 5, 2023 with a court order of hospitalization, we wish to state the following:
1) The suspect, after contacting the Prison Department, voluntarily surrendered to the Police.
2) The responsibility of guarding the inmates at the Athalassa Hospital lies with the hospital itself, unless, under the Protocol which has been implemented since 2016, the hospital is requested by the inmate's perimeter guarding, following the assessment of the inmate's risk by the mental health services. Which was not done in this particular case.
