Greek investigators are closely examining digital conversations that a 33-year-old man allegedly held with an artificial intelligence application months before a double murder in the coastal village of Finikounta, as new evidence continues to build against him.

According to authorities, the suspect—who is the nephew of one of the victims—is already being held in pretrial detention on suspicion of ordering the killings. He is now also under investigation for a series of unusual searches and exchanges with an AI chatbot dating back to August 2025.

Police sources say the conversations included detailed questions about firearms, forensic traces, and whether it is possible to commit a murder without being caught. The chats are now part of the case file and are being evaluated alongside other evidence gathered in the investigation.

Journalist Vassilis Lambropoulos, who specializes in police reporting for major Greek newspapers, said the suspect asked the AI application whether a “perfect crime” exists and what the chances of arrest would be if someone used a shotgun and collected the spent shell casings afterward.

In the exchanges, the suspect allegedly questioned how investigators could still trace a shooter even if shell casings were removed. The AI chatbot replied that gunshot residue remains on a person’s hands, clothing, and hair, making the collection of casings “only half the job.” He also asked whether a revolver leaves a ballistic signature, receiving a response that all firearms leave unique marks that can be traced.

Authorities consider the timing of the chats particularly significant, as they took place several months before the killings. Investigators are now assessing whether the conversations indicate premeditation.

Meanwhile, developments are also expected from other suspects in the case. Two 22-year-old men who were the first to be remanded to prison are scheduled to give supplementary statements. According to Lambropoulos, one of them—initially described as an accomplice—is expected to say that he entered the campsite linked to the crime but did not carry out the shooting, although he is unlikely to provide further details, citing fear.

The investigation into the Finikounta double murder remains ongoing, with authorities continuing to analyze digital evidence as they work to clarify each suspect’s role.
