The ongoing trial concerning the circumstances surrounding the death of 14-year-old Stylianos Constantinou continued on July 1 and 2, 2026, with dramatic testimonies from his former nursery school teacher. The educator described incidents of aggression and self-destructive behavior exhibited by Stylianos, suggesting he may have been influenced by violence within his family environment. Her testimony indicated that he displayed troubling behaviors from an early age, including bringing a knife to school at the age of five and expressing aggressive tendencies towards classmates and teachers.

The witness becomes emotional during cross-examination, highlighting the pressures she faced from the defense and underlining the intensity of the proceedings. Reports mention that Stylianos had previously revealed to peers concerning statements such as, "This is how my father hits me," pointing to potential abuse at home. The court has heard that the trials have shed light on the troubling dynamics of Stylianos's family life, with claims that his father exerted violence against both him and his mother, further complicating the narrative around his tragic death in September 2019. As the court hearings progress, the focus continues to be on understanding the broader implications of these revelations and the role of family violence in Stylianos's life.
