A very touching story by Sevgul in today's "Politis". She describes how a 23 years old Greek Cypriot working at the Nicosia International Airport, conned and killed a Turkish Cypriot co worker of his (Mustafa Ali) of the same age (just for being TC) and threw the corpse into a well (usual practice back then). The Greek Cypriot was a church goer who never repented for his crime but instead boasted for it to his friends.
This year, the Greek Cypriot was struck by cancer and his was visited at his death bed in Nicosia General Hospital by a Greek Cypriot who wanted to help the family of the murdered TC to find out where the remains of their missing relative were. The brother of the murdered TC also went along but did not disclose his identity.
The terminally ill GC showed no sign of repentance, even when he was facing death, but he did point out the exact spot where he disposed of the body. From then on, the Commission of the missing persons took over the case and searched the well where the remains were eventually found and returned to the family for proper burial, 46 years after he was murdered.
The murderer, died shortly after he disclosed the location of the well.
