New developments are expected in the case of the disappearance of 31-year-old Babis Koutsikos in Messolonghi, who has been missing since Thursday, January 4.

Today begins the 13th day of the search, however no evidence has been found as to the whereabouts of the unfortunate man.

According to tempo24.gr, the authorities had detected a blood stain on a boat in the lagoon, which was sent for investigation to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations. Everyone thought that the prosecuting authorities had a first important element in their hands, however, according to information it is not a human bloodstain, but probably a bird’s. In the meantime, yesterday for hours, until late at night, two friends of the butcher, who has entered the “frame” of the investigations, with whom the 50-year-old allegedly has contact, were testifying at the Messolonghi Police.

At the same time, today the family’s lawyer Kostas Dimopoulos is expected to appear in the courts of Messolonghi, in order to file a lawsuit against the 50-year-old, who was the last man to see him, for perjury, as he has fallen, as the family believes and based on the visual material from security cameras, in many contradictions regarding his movements on that fateful night.

“My brother is dead”

The sister of the missing Babis in Messolonghi declares that she is sure that her man has fallen victim to a criminal act.

“My brother is dead somewhere and they can’t find his body. We want his body to be found,” he said.

Besides, the Council of Misdemeanors approved the request of the commander of the Messolonghi Security Department to lift the bank secrecy on the accounts of both the 50-year-old butcher and the 31-year-old Babis, because the butcher was the last person the young man saw and contacted to ask for the 17,000 euros back which he had lent him.
