Re****t: Greek Cypriot 'beaten' before fatal heart attack in Turkish
Cypriot
custody
The Associated PressPublished: November 4, 2007
NICOSIA, Cyprus: A Greek Cypriot smuggling suspect who died of a heart
attack in Turkish Cypriot custody had been beaten in detention, state
radio
quoted a coroner as saying Sunday.
State coroner Eleni Antoniou said she established Stephis Stephanou, 64,
was
the "victim of a beating" before his Nov. 1 death in the Turkish-Cypriot
sector of the divided capital, Nicosia, according to RIK radio. She did
not
say whether that contributed to the man's death.
Stephanou was a former Irish honorary consul and founding member of the
co-ruling party Diko. His body was brought to the Greek Cypriot south on
Saturday.
An initial autopsy by a Turkish-Cypriot coroner failed to establish the
exact cause of death, a United Nations spokesman told The Associated
Press.
Stephanou re****tedly was arrested Oct. 18 in northern Nicosia on charges
of
antiquities smuggling, and was twice taken to hospital because of health
problems.
The Mediterranean island has been divided along ethnic lines since 1974,
when Turkey invaded after an abortive Athens-engineered coup aimed at
uniting the island with Greece.
