The brother of the 16-year-old arrested for the fatal beating of a 17-year-old in Serres, states that his brother did not intend to kill the victim and that "he is crying in custody." He claims it was a "bad moment" and that his brother regrets it. The 16-year-old's lawyer states that it was a simple disagreement that turned into tragedy due to a health problem of the victim, while the severity of the blows allegedly inflicted by the juvenile perpetrator is being questioned.
