Beschreibung
Between September 2016 and July 2018, a serving Cypriot army captain named Nikos Metaxas killed seven people - five migrant domestic workers and two young girls - using a dating app to find his victims and the abandoned copper mines of central Cyprus to hide them. For nearly three years, the police ignored the missing persons reports filed by friends, families, and advocacy organisations, assuming the women had simply left. It took a rainstorm and two tourists to break the case open. The Silence of the Lakes is the full account of the Mitsero murders: the killer, the victims, the discovery, and the system that made it all possible. Morton Shanahan traces the tied employment visa regime that left migrant domestic workers isolated and legally dependent, the institutional culture that treated their disappearances as routine, the digital platform that a predator weaponised, and the toxic landscape he used as a graveyard. Drawing on the forensic record, the criminal proceedings, the independent inquiry, and the comparative literature on police accountability and European rights frameworks, Shanahan asks the question the official responses have never fully answered: not who killed seven women and girls in Cyprus, but why the conditions that made it possible have not yet been changed.
