Crown Court

Past Times (1) (1978x55)

Ausstrahlung: Sep 26, 1978

In 1964 Yannis Christodoulou, a Greek-Cypriot immigrant, appeared before magistrates charged with wounding Ahmed Hilmi, a Turkish-Cypriot. Christodoulou left for Cyprus before trial at a higher court. Fourteen years later he returned to the UK thinking the case had expired but it has in act been referred to the Crown Court. The Prosecution argue Christodoulou was taunting Hilmi over events in Cyprus but the Defence say he was only acting in reasonable self-defence, thinking Hilmi and a friend were going to attack him.
