He was just 7 years old and was in the second grade of primary school. During the students protest, the occupier used violence to oppress and discourage. To protect themselves the children went hiding in a church. The soldiers were chasing the children and they answered by throwing stones. One of the soldiers decided to end the life of the little hero and he shot Dimitriadis in the head and made him immortal. A statue in his honor was build in the Kalogera elementary school in Larnaka.
