Serres: Mother of 16-year-old accused of murder pleads for forgiveness – 'Judge me, not my son'

The mother of the 16-year-old accused of the murder of the 17-year-old in Serres publicly apologized to the victim's family, expressing her deep sorrow and her son's remorse. She emphasized that her son will be held accountable for his actions and that she would prefer to receive the punishment instead of him, believing she may not have set enough boundaries. The mother stated that her son had told her about an argument, but not about the severity of the attack, which is said to have been triggered by a love triangle. Simultaneously, the forensic examination revealed severe injuries to the 17-year-old's entire body and head, including rupture of internal organs, which contradicts the initial statements of the 16-year-old, who claimed to have inflicted only one hit.
