Suit Against Starkville Apartments Reinstated

[syndicaster id=’6009324′]

JACKSON, MS (WCBI) – The State Supreme court says the mother and sister of a Starkville murder victim can sue the apartment complex where the killing took place.
Andreas Galanis was murdered in 2006  by his roommate Bobby Batiste at the 21 Apartments unit the two shared.  Katerina and Christina Galanis sued 21 apartments saying since they played a hand in pairing the two in the complex, they were responsible for warning Andreas Galanis of Batiste’s violent history.  An Oktibbeha County court and the state court of appeals both found the apartment complex was not at fault but now the State Supreme Court ruled the management failed to provide those facts and will let the civil case go to trial.
