Greek teen killed in armed robbery in Brazil

·

Tragedy struck a Greek family living in Brazil when 18-year-old Theodore Kattavenos, originally from Psinthos, Rhodes, was shot dead by robbers while working at a restaurant.

The attack occurred shortly before 2.30 am local time, when armed assailants entered the restaurant where Kattavenos worked on weekends to carry out a robbery.

His father, Yannis Kattavenos, shared a heartbreaking message on social media, writing: “To lose you so young! Unbelievable! I love you, my son!”

The family had relocated to Brazil a few years ago for work. Authorities have not yet released further details about the circumstances of the 18-year-old’s murder.
