Seven held after tourist stabbed to death on Greek isle
Seven people from Britain and Ireland were being held by Greek police after the death of a 17-year-old British student on the holiday island of Rhodes.
Paddy Doran, who hailed from Peterborough, was stabbed in the neck with a broken bottle in a fight outside a club in Faliraki, Sky News reported.
He died in an ambulance on the way to hospital and a post mortem examination was due to be carried out.
The people held after the incident, which happened outside the Q club in the town, were mostly aged in their twenties and thirties. The death is the latest in a series of violent clashes on the Greek islands involving young British holidaymakers.
According to Sky News, Faliraki’s mayor Yiannis Iatridis claimed there was insufficient security despite a recent decision to boost police patrols at the seaside resort. “This is our biggest problem. There are not enough police around,” he is reported to have said.
