_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
At the junction of Ledra Street and Alexander the Great Street on 28 September 1956, three EOKA members
fired a rapid volley of shots at Sergeant Cyril Thorogood (Leicester and Rutland Constabulary),
Sergeant Hugh Carter (Herefordshire County Constabulary) and
Sergeant William Webb (Worcestershire County Constabulary). They were in plain clothes.
Carter and Thorogood were killed instantly, but Webb, although hit five times, survived.
Nicos Sampson, a 25-year-old Greek Cypriot photo-journalist, was suspected of firing the fatal shots
but it was not until the following January (1957) that he was arrested at Dhali for carrying arms.
At his trial, which lasted from March until June 1957, Sampson, identified by Webb as Carter and Thorogood,
killer was acquitted - due to procedural inadequacies.
