KEY POINTS

• The greek community of Perth is shocked
• Tomorrow Monday the funeral of the 23-year-old
• He was returning to base after a vacation

This is a period of mourning with the postponement of many planned events for the greek community of Perth, due to the railway tragedy in Tempe.

A tragedy that is keenly experienced by the Cypriot expatriate community since one of the three Cypriot victims, has close family ties to a well-known fellow Cypriot in Perth.

According to information from SBS Greek, the unfortunate 23-year-old student Kyprianos Papaioannou is a close relative of a well-known community member of the Cypriot community.
