The time of crisis has arrived for him confessed perpetrator of the quadruple murder that took place in Andravida on March 2, 2022, as the trial for the 61-year-old begins on Friday, June 9 at the Mixed Jury Court of Patras.

The Criminal Council of Patras, by will, orders the referral of the 61-year-old to a trial before the MoD on the charge of serial murder, illegal carrying and continuous use of weapons and illegal possession of weapons and ammunition, accepting the prosecutor’s proposal that the accused is on trial for the heinous criminal act against 32-year-old Armando Clotsi and his 37-year-old wife Maria, as well as their two minor children, only 1.5 and 2.5 years old.

As shown by the conclusion of the autopsy carried out at the Forensic Service of Patras by the head of the service, Angeliki Tsiola, the 61-year-old shot the parents and caused the two children to die of suffocation, exterminating an entire family. The mother received one bullet in the head and the father two, which came from a 9mm Zastava pistol, which the accused then hid in the boiler room of an apartment building in Patras.

The investigations of the police who investigated the case focused from the beginning on the specific defendant, whose movements were recorded by security cameras in the area.

Immediately after his act, he fled on foot to his home, which is located a short distance from the scene of the crime, where he got into his car and fled. However, before leaving the couple’s home, he attempted to dispose of the bodies of the two adult victims and placed them in a trailer he owned, which was parked in a storage shed adjacent to the residence the victims were renting.

In addition, he had deposited the body of the 2.5-year-old child of the victims next to the trailer, on bedclothes, while the body of the 1.5-year-old boy was found by the 12-year-old son of the 37-year-old woman, inside the house, at the moment he was returning to her. In fact, the 12-year-old’s return home seems to have ruined the plans, because he didn’t have time to dispose of the bodies.

The 61-year-old was detected finally on the evening of March 4, 2022 driving his vehicle, in Midilogli Patras and after an organized police operation, he was stopped in Patras, brought first to the Patras Police Station and then to the Pyrgos Security Sub-Directorate, where he was arrested.

Under the weight of the evidence confessed to the murders of the 37-year-old and the 32-year-old, which he also did in front of Investigator Amaliadas, who a few days after his arrest ordered his temporary detention. But the 61-year-old never confessed to killing the two babies, saying he did not remember anything.

Police officers from the Ilida Security Department, the Pyrgos Security Sub-Directorate and the Homicide Department of the Attica Security Directorate participated in the investigation of the case, while the weapon with which he killed two of his four victims was identified after a ballistics and laboratory examination, carried out by the Directorate of Criminal Investigations.
