The residents of the village of Havari, Amaliada, are shocked by the loss of their roommate EPOP Special Forces paratrooper Sergeant Costas Meligonis on Thursday night during an exercise of his unit in Megara. The 34-year-old non-commissioned officer often visited his father's village of Havari, while his mother is also from Sosti.

Ilialive.gr visited Havari and talked to residents of the village who knew the undefeated young man and expressed their grief for his loss.

"He was a very good boy. He was crazy about special forces and gymnastics. He was a child with a lot of energy, they came to my shop, we sat, drank our beers, we laughed… "said Vassilis Polyzois. "He was a very happy child. He would either laugh or exercise. A remarkable character, a special child, beloved all over the world… "he added.

Father Dion. Theodoratos, noted that “.. Konstantinos used to come here, our houses were opposite, my nephew was the child. He was very active since he was a small child, he liked sports, he was very fit, happy but also adventurous. When we heard this tragic event, we could not believe it, the whole village is in grief. A young child left, full of dreams, he was ready to marry his girlfriend… "said the father. "He really liked the village here and they came regularly to see his parents. We have all suffered a lot, may God give courage to his parents and his brother… ".

A neighbor of Kostas's family, Dinos Rounis stated that “Or he was a very good child, happy, dynamic, imagine that when he came to the village he brought with him and tied a big rope to the plane tree and did exercises there as well. I do not want to say that it was risky, because the child did his job, the one he had to do. We were all very sad. God rest him, he was an angel, to go with the angels… " .

"I am very sad, the child was a friend of my son, I am very sad, I can not believe it," said George Seferlis.

"I do not realize what happened. We were close, we were very good friends ... He was a smiling child, happy, if you were sad his laughter was medicine. You saw him and he made you smile. We are shocked. This job was his dream. When they called me and told me I could not believe it. Tragic news… "said Andreas Rounis.
