On 11 September 2026, leading Greek newspaper To Vima published an in-depth report marking the ten-year anniversary of the murder of George Low in Ayia Napa, Republic of Cyprus โ highlighting the ongoing failure of Cypriot and Turkish authorities to secure justice for his family.
George Low, a 22-year-old estate agent from Dartford, was stabbed twice outside Bell's Pub on the Ayia Napa strip on 14 August 2016. At the time of the attack, George was with his friend Ben Barker, who was also stabbed multiple times and seriously injured, but survived. International arrest warrants were subsequently issued for two identified suspects, who fled across the border into northern Cyprus, where they were detained for unlawful entry before eventually being allowed to travel to Turkey.
Despite an investigation being carried out and arrest warrants being issued, no one has been brought to trial for George's murder.
"Politics is More Important Than a Life"
The phrase that has come to define the Low family's decade-long struggle is one they have repeated throughout: "Our son has been murdered, and yet politics is more important than his life."
Michael P***k, Director of Justice Abroad and legal representative for the Low family, told To Vima that the case has become a casualty of political division.
"To have your son die at such a promising time in his life is obviously a terrible tragedy and something that is difficult for any family to deal with," said P***k. "But they โ and we โ are determined to get justice."
