NICOSIA—Cyprus’ new police chief on May 7 apologized over the handling of the country’s serial killer case amid accusations of negligent police work that may have allowed the suspect to claim more victims.
Kypros Michaelides offered the apology to the families of seven foreign women and girls who an army captain has confessed to killing. He said that police had failed to protect the victims, adding that those who failed to properly investigate their disappearances will be held accountable.
