The president of Cyprus fired the small island nation's police chief Friday, saying botched missing person investigations might have allowed a self-confessed serial killer to claim more victims. In a letter to Police Chief Zacharias Chrysostomou, Anastasiades said the head of any organization must take responsibility for the actions of subordinates. The oldest killing was in 2016/Immigrant rights activists have accused the police force of not investigating when foreign workers are reported missing. Prodromou said the president told the representatives that foreign worker complaints about rights and living conditions will be handled by the Ombudsman's Office. The diplomats acknowledged the killings as an "isolated incident" that doesn't correspond with the generally good experiences in Cyprus of workers from their countries, he said.
