Family of slain Winnipeg restaurateur calls for inquiry into his death

Mike Vogiatzakis, whose brother Kyriakos died after a Jan. 24 altercation at the Cork and Flame on Portage Avenue, said his family was failed by the city’s emergency services that day. Vogiatzakis told media Tuesday morning that he doesn’t want to see other Winnipeg families go through a similar situation, blaming errors in the emergency response from both police and paramedics for making an already awful situation even worse.

Vogiatzakis is also calling for changes to Manitoba’s justice system, and suggested the accused in this case was part of a ‘rotating-door’ problem in the way criminals are treated in this province. “This is a system that’s failing us… why would people stop committing crimes if the justice system just lets them out.”
