Petre Cozma (69 years old), the father of the late Marian Cozma, dramatically deceased at 26, suffered an operation after which the left foot was amputated.
An extremely difficult moment for the father who said goodbye to his son in February 2009, after the former handball player was stabbed in a heart in Veszprem.
To Petre Cozma was the left foot amputated
On August 6, Petre Cozma suffered a surgery after which the left foot was amputated, due to some old and serious problems, according to Freedom.
The parent attempted had the power to talk about this moment: “On August 6 was the operation, at the Military Hospital. They cut my left foot, from above. I stayed 4 days, now I am at home. It is the first time I will get out of bed (no in control).
The quoted source claims that Petre Cozma had acute problems on the left foot and hip. It was helped by crutches when traveling long distances. It also suffers from diabetes.
He praised the staff at the Military Hospital in Bucharest and said that Dinamo's gallery wanted to jump to their aid: “They are young children, the MApN employees. The guys at the gallery jumped to help me, thank them, I am a symbol there, but I didn't need it.
I watch movies and do recovery gymnastics, move from one side to the other, not to stairs. It's that, than to stay with the hell in you, you better go to church. “
Marian Cozma's family has not received any compensation from criminals
Marian Cozma's family should have received the sum of 700,000 euros from Marian's killers. No money has reached the account of the grieving family.
This case was last year blocked in court. “Honestly, I am no longer interested in the amount. My boy from the pit does not return,” said Petre Cozma.
The film of Marian Cozma's death
On the night of February 7 to 8, 2009, Marian Cozma was in the Patriota Lokal disco, along with a few teammates. They were celebrating the birth of the child of one of them together. A group of three aggressors attacked the handball player, the Romanian being stabbed three times in the heart.
Two other colleagues, Croatian Ivan Pesici and Serb Zarko Sesum, were also involved in the conflict. Another teammate, Ferenc Ilyes, tried to save Marian Cozma, breathing his mouth, but failed to resuscitate him.
