In the mapped area where it is estimated that the shotgun and the mobile phone of the 31-year-old murdered Babis Koutsikos were “buried”, in Messolonghi, with the accused the 50-year-old now in custody at the Korydallos butcher, searches were carried out yesterday, Wednesday 24/01/2024, by a special team of the Army .

The “scanning” by a metal object detection machine which, according to “Peloponnisos” information, reached the plain of Evinochori from Ioannina, took place at specific points. Where it is suspected that the alleged perpetrator hid or threw the 31-year-old’s personal belongings into the water, in an attempt to conceal evidence against him. However, the search was unsuccessful and therefore the search operation for the carbine and the victim’s cellphone will continue today.

Yesterday morning, as revealed by pelop.gr, the 50-year-old accused of homicide was taken from Patras where he was being held, to the Korydallos Detention Center, as part of the execution of his pre-trial detention order. However, during his stay in the custody of the Security Directorate of Patras, in communication with the police, as he exclusively wrote yesterday, “Peloponnisos”, said: “My hands are clean, I have nothing to do with it.”

At the same time, according to information, new persons are being called by the authorities to testify as, as a senior officer pointed out to “P”, “the investigation does not stop until we find all the evidence. We don’t just focus on the 50-year-old and people around him, we will “extend” the research in other directions as well.”
