17-Year-Old Dies After Brutal Assault in Serres, Greece

A 17-year-old boy has died in Serres, Greece, after a brutal assault by a 16-year-old, reportedly over a romantic interest. The 16-year-old has confessed to the attack and is charged with intentional manslaughter, while his mother has been arrested for neglect of a minor. Witnesses state the incident began with tension outside the Metropolis of Serres, escalating into a physical attack where the 16-year-old struck the 17-year-old in the head with his elbow. Despite suffering severe injuries, the victim was taken to the basement of his apartment building without anyone being notified, where he later died. His sister found him unconscious in the morning after his parents reported him missing. New evidence has emerged from a church caretaker who discovered bloodstains near the Metropolis. The 16-year-old has a history of delinquency, with previous arrests for assault and drug possession. He is expected to appear before the judicial authorities, as investigations continue to fully clarify the case.
