Greek authorities are preparing three new arrest warrants in connection with the double murder in Foinikounda, southern Greece, after uncovering inconsistencies in witness statements and phone records.
The case, which has gripped public attention, took a new turn after investigators analyzed data from seven mobile phones linked to the suspects. The findings, now in the hands of the Kalamata investigative judge, are said to have revealed gaps and contradictions in the testimonies already given.
Phone Data Opens New Lines of Inquiry
The Homicide Division has been examining the digital evidence as part of efforts to reconstruct the events leading to the killings. According to investigative sources, the cross-referencing of telecommunications data with prior statements has exposed discrepancies significant enough to warrant further arrests.
These findings are expected to clarify several “dark spots” in the timeline of the crime, which took place in a confined area under circumstances that remain unclear.
Crime Scene Raises Questions
Former police union president Giorgos Kalliakmanis questioned the plausibility of the reported sequence of events: “The crime scene itself doesn’t convince. How could it have happened in such a small space — with three people present, one shot, another chased, and a third managing to escape?”
Authorities are also focusing on the movements of a 22-year-old suspect, believed to have fled to the nearby city of Kalamata shortly after the killings.
Search for a Third Person
Tracking his route, investigators believe a third person likely assisted in his escape — possibly picking him up from a bypass road to avoid surveillance cameras. This hypothesis has become central to the next phase of the investigation, as police aim to identify all those involved.
