The appeal launched by former special police guards Epaminondas Korkoneas and Vasilis Saraliotis over the murder of Alexis Grigoropoulos has been postponed, at the request of the defense.
It has not yet been determined when it will take place, however the court announced that it must take place later in the year, as the limitation period of some misdemeanors lapses in 2016.
The two were found guilty of the murder of 15-year-old student Alexis Grigoropoulos in Exarchia in December of 2008. His murder prompted riots in Athens and other cities across Greece, which lasted for days.
Korkoneas, who shot Grigoporopoulos, was initially sentenced to life imprisonment with the courts not finding any mitigating circumstances in his case. His partner Saraliotis received a ten-year sentence, but received bail in 2012.
