#112 – Savvas Demetriades and the Code of Silence (Soho, London)

On Monday 25th October 1943, at roughly 3:30pm, a businessman called Savvas Demetriades was murdered in broad daylight on a public pavement outside of the Helvetia pub at 23 Old Compton Street. The Police's investigation should have collapsed owing to the code of silence in Soho’s Greek-Cypriot community. But this would collapse owing to how petty the murder was.

  • Date: Monday 25th October 1943
  • Location: 23 Old Compton Street, Soho, W1 (pavement outside)
  • Victims: 1 (Savvas Demetriades)
  • Culprits: 1 (Christos Georghiou)
