The murder case of Angelos Perikleous is particularly complex and has unique characteristics for judicial proceedings in Cyprus. The main defendant, 27-year-old Joshua Poloso Epifanio, is defending himself alone, which significantly affects the trial process. Tensions during the hearing are notable, with the defendant attempting to challenge the prosecution's positions. The presiding judge, Nikolaos Georgiades, has repeatedly had to give the defendant advice on his conduct. The case has generated interest due to its seriousness and the involvement of family members of the defendant.
