Cyprus update.
This fascist pig, named Nikos Metaxas, officer of the Greek Cypriot army, is a serial killer who targeted immigrant worker women and their children. So far, he has confessed to killing seven, two of them children. Four bodies have been found.

His victims have been identified as:
Mary Rose Tiburkio, Philippines, 38
Sierra Grace, Philippines, 6
Arian Palanas, Philippines, 28
Marikar Valdez, Philippines
Livia Florentina Bunuea, Romania, 36
Elena Natalia Bunuea, Romania, 8

His seventh victim has provisionally been identified as Khadka Anu, Nepal, 30

The case unraveled after tourists found the first body. And here we get to the core issue. These women are among around 22 immigrant worker women who have “disappeared” in Cyprus over the last few years. Further, the Chair of the Association of House Cleaners, an old man

named Louis Koutroukides, had, upon receiving reports from victims’ families, gone to the #CyprusPolice and asked them what they are doing to investigate. He was laughed at and told he should find something better to do with his time than inquire over “negro women”.

Mr. Koutroukides got so desperate over being ignored by the authorities he wrote an open letter to the Minister of justice on August 19, 2018. In this letter, still available at the mainstream newspaper that published it, he pleads for an investigation, doing the work of the

police by pointing to several indications these women didn’t “run off” as the police said, and openly telling the police a serial killer is involved. He was ignored.

The CyprusPolice, the Ministry of Justice and the Cyprus government did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. Needless to say, tens of immigrant women who knew about the killer and his activities (I have first hand info myself) didn’t bother to go to the cops. It was well known that being ignored

was THE BEST CASE scenario for them. Being threatened with deportation or humiliated was much more likely.
Currently, Turkish Cypriot authorities are inquiring over Metaxas’ connection to the murder of a Vietnamese woman in the TRNC. Another woman, a 16 y.o Somali, has suddenly

been “remembered” as missing. There are more women missing, at least another 15. Missing but never searched for, no investigation ever about why they disappeared. In my knowledge, Metaxas run at least three parallel operations to locate victims and he wanted to kill their

children too: 1. Dating site baddoo; 2. Offering “modeling photography” services (his YouTube channel is still up); 3. physically visiting migrant hangouts in the old town to “look for house cleaners”, offering far larger than usual remuneration. HE EVEN CONTACTED KOUTROUGIDES

HIMSELF, “looking for a house leaner” at good pay rates. All this in a city of 150k. But the police “knew nothing.”

Υesterday, I joined Cypriot citizens, along with some very brave Filipino women workers, in protest outside the presidential palace. Its resident was in China. He has not announced any intention to resign himself or dismiss his Minister of Justice.

This is the reaction of the Minister of Justice himself here on Twitter, after some dared criticize his criminal inaction and indifference to women’s and children’s lives.

He locked his twitter account.
If you are planning vacation in Cyprus, look at this cartoon, accompanying Koutrougidis’ desperate article, AND CANCEL IT. It will be a vacation supported by the labor of invisible women and men whose life and death does not matter an iota

to the corrupt, venal and inhuman Greek Cypriot plutocracy.

As to the political identity of the serial killer, his pseudonym contained Cypriot soccer club #APOEL

And this March he was irony bro for the Vietnamese murdered in Mai L’ai, writing, “they asked for God to help them, but...#MaiLai”
