Until then, all four defendants will remain under remand at the central prison.Kalogeropoulos was gunned down at the end of October on his way to his morning swim in Limassol. A post-mortem revealed that <strong>he had been shot 10 times<\/strong>.He was \u201cwell known to authorities\u201d \u2013 a phrase commonly used by police to indicate he had previously been involved in criminal activity.He was shot at close range from a vehicle by two people with a pistol and a Kalashnikov, before the assailants fled, set fire to their getaway vehicle, and then escaped on a motorcycle.Police believe the 22-year-old suspect was the mastermind behind the plan, while the 41-year-old is suspected of being one of the two who fired the shots. The 44-year-old owns the house at which the murder was allegedly planned, while the 21-year-old was allegedly riding the motorcycle.The trial had initially been set to begin in January, but was postponed after the four defendants initially requested that they be tried in Nicosia rather than in Limassol.It was then postponed for a second time in February, with the four defendants\u2019 lawyers arguing that <strong>their clients were not prepared to respond to the charges<\/strong> due to the recent delivery of evidence.Follow the<br \/>\nCyprus Mail  on Google News<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>All four men suspected of killing Thanasis Kalogeropoulos pleaded not guilty to charges including premeditated murder, conspiracy to commit murder, possession and transportation of a firearm and ammunition, and vehicle theft and arson.
