The release of the water sports business owner and the speedboat driver who were arrested in relation to the fatal injury of a 10-year-old boy at Kalo Livadi, on Mykonos, on Monday, has provoked the anger of the dead boy’s family. The prosecutor on the isle of Syros decided that there was no need for the two people arrested to be transported to Syros. Instead, the Mykonos port authorities were told to continue the preliminary investigation for a trial date to be set. The Mykonos Port Authority designated two experts to determine the exact cause of death of a 10-year-old boy who lost his life in a speed boat fatal accident off the popular Aegean island of Mykonos.

The boy’s body is in Syros Hospital for an autopsy after it was mangled by a speedboat propeller. The boy had fallen off an inflatable banana boat ride and slipped into the water, but the speedboat driver who came back to collect him ran over him instead.

The parents of the 10-year-old are shocked following the death of their only child. Family members of the unfortunate youngster are accusing authorities for the accident. The family’s lawyers are probing into the legality of the license for the water sports facilities given at “lightning speed” without checking into security measures. Lawyers are concerned that there was no second person on the boat and that such sports are allowed to be practiced at a time when the wind velocity is at 7 beaufort.

“Let authorities tell us if the reaction of the speedboat’s operator and the sudden swerve of the driver-murderer in that case as well as the situation of the sea are in adherence with the necessary security measures,” ask lawyers.
