A 33-year-old man being held for the murder of his partner’s seven-year-old son was found hanged in his cell in a Corfu prison.
Prison guards found him hanged with a bed sheet when they opened up the cells for the prisoners’ yard time on Tuesday afternoon. His death is deemed a probable suicide as he was alone in a locked cell, while an investigation into the incident is underway.
The prisoner, a Polish national, along with the child’s 29-year-old mother, had been arrested on charges of murdering the 7-year-old in 2017, concealing the body on the roof of their building in Kipseli and then proceeding to carry the child’s remains to a new apartment, concealed in a toolbox, where police discovered them five years later.
