Trial for the Death of Two Children in Xylofagou
July 2, 2026
Two boys, aged 8 and 10, were found dead in a car in Xylofagou after being left unattended for hours. Their father, a 30-year-old from Bulgaria, has been charged with causing their deaths through reckless behavior. It appears that he did not return home after going to buy alcohol. The children accessed the car through an open door and became trapped due to an activated child lock. The leading cause of death is believed to be asphyxiation, although the investigation is ongoing.
