I ERENE KOUPPARIS of [...] MAKE OATH AND SAY as follows:-

	In 1987 I was living at 12 Strickland Court, Fenwick Road, SE15 
4HP with my sons Andrew and Jason. I have been a widow since 1975. My 
eldest son Panos was married in 1978 and moved to Cyprus with his 
wife Kyriacoulla and daughter Marie in 1983.
	Towards the end of 1985 I began to hear less and less from them 
and it became almost impossible to reach Panos by telephone. In the 
early summer of 1986 I received a telephone call from Cyprus. It was 
Mr Andreas Halloumas, Kyriacoulla's father. He told me that my son 
was very ill and advised me to bring him to England to see a 
specialist. I became very concerned, especially as Kyriacoulla 
continued to deny that he was ill.
	I asked my nephew, Costas Joseph to visit my son and report his 
condition to me. He did this, but the results were inconclusive. 
Costas told me that Panos had seemed all right, perhaps a little 
depressed, but otherwise fine. My son Andrew visited Cyprus in June 
1986. He confirmed that Panos was very ill, under psychiatric care 
and taking so many tablets that he slept all day. Litsa Hallouma, 
Kyriacoulla's younger sister, visited London in August of that year 
and told me that Panos had changed beyond recognition and appeared to 
be getting worse. She was very concerned about his condition and 
cried during her account.
	These reports prompted me to visit Panos myself. I went to 
Cyprus for a month commencing on 13 November 1986. I almost did not 
recognise my son when I saw him. He was unkempt, unshaven and his 
eyes were bulging out of sunken sockets surrounded by dark rings. He 
had lost a lot of weight since I had last seen him. He was shaking 
like a leaf and could hardly string two words together to form a 
sentence. He seemed to be asleep on his feet. All he wanted to do was 
lie in bed all day. The only time he got up was to take his medicines 
then he would go straight back to bed. He appeared to be terrified of 
something, there was a look of fear in his eyes. He looked terrible.
	Kyriacoulla had changed too. From the sweet, charming angel I 
had known, she had become very hard and bitter. She was extremely 
hostile towards me. On one occasion she was driving her mother and me 
somewhere when she took objection to a casual remark I had made. She 
stopped the car in the middle of the road and threw me out! Her 
mother got out too and Kyriacoulla drove off leaving us there. This 
was most unlike her.
	I stayed with Panos for several days. Kyriacoulla made it clear 
that I was not welcome in her home. Towards the end of my visit I had 
to go and stay with my sister at Larnaca. She refused to discuss 
Panos' condition with me and kept saying, you don't know what he has 
put me thorough. She told me, I don't want him like this, he is no 
good to anyone. I don't want your son anymore, I am going to leave 
him.
	When Panos did speak, his conversation was normal and he would 
say that he was all right. He had not been able to work for some time 
but Kyriacoulla had taken a job at the British High Commission. Panos 
had sold a piece of property in Nicosia and may have been planning to 
return to England but Kyriacoulla was opposed to this idea. It was 
obvious that theirs was a very unhappy household. Kyriacoulla told me 
that Panos was seeing a psychiatrist and that she had been taking him 
to the surgery and attending the consultations. Kyriacoulla's father 
told me that Panos had stopped seeing Dr Sophocleous and had become a 
patient of Dr Takis Evthokas. He intimated that Evthokas was a better 
doctor than Sophocleous. He later told me that Panos would have died 
if he had stayed with Dr Sophocleous.
	Kyriacoulla was purchasing all the medications because Panos 
would not leave the house. I remember her telephoning the pharmacy to 
make sure that they had everything she wanted before going to collect 
Panos' prescription. I accompanied her on this task on a few 
occasions. She also complained that the medicines were costing 
hundreds of pounds every month. Panos' room was full of drugs, multi-
coloured blister packs and bottles of capsules, he had even kept all 
the empty packets for some reason. Kyriacoulla was in charge of his 
medicines. She told him what to take and when to take them. She was 
always asking him if he had taken his lunch-time dose or if he had 
remembered his sleeping pills and so on. I saw what he was taking on 
many occasions, one could not avoid it because the couple's daily 
routine revolved around the medications. I would say that I had seen 
him take as many as fifteen pills at one time, of many different 
shapes, colours and sizes.
	I asked Kyriacoulla why he was taking so many drugs. She said 
that his doctor had prescribed them. I asked Panos if he could try 
taking fewer tablets but he said that he could not cope without them. 
I was assured by Kyriacoulla's parents, my son's neighbours and many 
other people that Panos' condition had improved since he had been 
under the care of Dr Evthokas, from around mid-August. I returned to 
England and tried to keep in regular contact with Panos. There was 
nothing else I could do.
	At the end of March 1987, Panos came to London. I knew that he 
had planned to consult a Harley Street specialist, however, I was not 
expecting him to arrive alone and without warning. As soon as I saw 
him I knew that there was something wrong. He was completely 
different from his normal self and from what he had been like in 
Cyprus. Initially, I did not think that he was ill, quite the 
opposite, he was full of energy, smiling and laughing, very 
extroverted and happy go lucky, at least, until I saw the other side 
of his new persona. His behaviour was bizarre and unusual. He was not 
normal.
	I saw Panos taking tablets while he was in London. I asked him 
what they were and he told me that they were sleeping pills. I knew 
that he took sleeping pills prior to going to Cyprus therefore I did 
not consider this to be unusual. I was surprised that he was taking 
so many tablets and yet not getting any sleep at all! I remember 
wondering what he would be like if he was not taking them. From my 
own experience, while in hospital for an operation, I would take just 
one sleeping tablet and be fast asleep within minutes. I could not 
understand how he could take half a dozen pills and stay awake all 
night.
	Panos was leaving his pills lying around at my home. I would 
often collect them and put them in one place for him. He had quite a 
large collection of different packets of pills and a little jar in a 
grey and white box.. I remember examining his medicines in great 
detail on one occasion in an effort to discover what they were but I 
was not able to learn anything useful.
	Panos had a small piece of paper with his passport photograph 
attached to it. He told me that it was a certificate from the 
President of Cyprus and that would make him very rich.
	Kyriacoulla and Marie arrived in London about two weeks after 
my son. Panos collected them from the airport and booked into a west-
end hotel. When I visited them there, I noticed that Kyriacoulla had 
brought a huge collection of drugs with her. I asked her what they 
were and she told me they were for Panos. I asked her why he was 
taking so many different types and she replied that this was his 
treatment. She said, this is nothing compared to what he was taking 
before. Panos told me that these drugs were all to help him sleep and 
that he was not taking any medicines because he was completely cured. 
He insisted that there was nothing wrong with him.
	Panos would get very annoyed when I mentioned that he should 
see a doctor while he was in England. He was adamant that he did not 
need medical treatment and flatly refused to consult a doctor. 
However, I discovered that his partner was a doctor. Kyriacoulla told 
me that they had met a doctor in London and had taken him to lunch at 
the hotel and had visited his clinic. Panos had even gone to visit 
him at his home in Manchester. They also told me that the doctor had 
agreed to work for Panos. This reassured me that Panos must have been 
well, otherwise, the doctor would have realised that there was 
something wrong with him. I have no knowledge of medicine or 
psychiatry. I relied on Kyriacoulla entirely in these matters and she 
had told me repeatedly that she was acting directly under Dr Evthokas 
orders.
	About one week after Kyriacoulla's arrival they came to stay at 
my home. Kyriacoulla collected all Panos' drugs and placed them in 
her handbag. She took control of the administration of the drugs and 
made sure that Panos took his medicines every day. On many occasions 
I saw her select the various pills, take them to Panos with a glass 
of water and stand over him while he swallowed them in her presence. 
This routine continued throughout their stay at my home until they 
were both arrested, about five weeks later.
	I asked Kyriacoulla what Panos was doing in London if he was 
not here for medical treatment. She said that he was working on a big 
project with the Cyprus Government and that they would make a lot of 
money. I asked her if that was why the President had sent Panos a 
certificate? She asked me what certificate I was talking about. I 
showed her an airmail envelope that held the certificate. She took 
out the piece of paper with the passport photograph attached and 
said, "Don't be silly, I got this for him, it is his prescription." I 
have looked at a photocopy marked exhibit number 17, page 196 and one 
marked 40:158. I identify them as the prescription and the envelope 
respectively. I recall that the envelope contained some other papers 
too. All these items were taken from my home by the Police on 14 May, 
1987.
	On the night that my nephew, Christopher Joseph, had brought 
Panos back to the hotel after he had collapsed, Chris had taken me to 
one side and said, "What have you done to your son? He wants to kill 
you." This frightened me and I told Kyriacoulla. She went to great 
lengths to defend Panos and refused my request to take him to a 
doctor. She continued to insist that she knew what she was doing and 
that it was none of my business. On or about 1 May 1987, Panos flew 
into a violent rage and hit both myself and Kyriacoulla. She was very 
badly injured and I took them both to the hospital. Panos insisted 
that I leave them at the entrance and return home. I later asked 
Kyriacoulla if she had told the doctor what had happened? She said 
that she had told him that they had fallen down the stairs. I was 
furious with her. I said that Panos would kill us all if we did not 
do anything about him. She said, as soon as I can walk I am leaving 
him, then you can do what you like, I don't care about him anymore. 
The next day she searched the whole house looking for her passport so 
that she could return to Cyprus but failed to find it. The day after 
that she decided not to leave and in no time she was supporting and 
defending Panos as if nothing had happened.
	Some time after my son's arrest, Andrew and I took Panos' 
medicines to Frank Campion, his solicitor. We removed a few pills 
from each packet for reference purposes.
	I am making this statement now because the following 
information has been brought to my attention: Dr Evthokas has made a 
statement that denies the validity of the list of drugs that 
Kyriacoulla had purported to be Panos' treatment. Kyriacoulla has 
served a sworn affidavit in which she has denied all knowledge and 
involvement with Panos' medications. Medical experts have reported 
that Kyriacoulla's list of drugs could have caused temporary insanity 
with symptoms identical to those displayed by my son, permanent 
injury and even death. Taking the above into account and her 
inexplicable behaviour during that period and since, I am of the 
opinion that she may have acted with malice in the false 
administration of drugs to my son. I am now aware that she had a 
powerful motive for wanting to harm Panos and both Kyriacoulla and 
her father have recently voiced threats to me regarding his life.
