A crime unprecedented in Greek happened in Thassos on May 20, 1996. The 24 -year -old law student Theophilos Shehidis, murdered, cut and destroyed his parents, uncle, sister and grandmother because he believed that his family was conspiring.

He then collected the carcasses, chopped them with chainsaws, put them in rubbish bags and threw them into the Kavala dump, transferring the bags from Thassos with the ferry ferry. But the brains of the corpses, as he later admitted, had been kept in the refrigerator “for anatomical study”.

The heinous crime will be revealed on August 8th.

For almost three months, Sechidis pretended the restless relative and said he did not know where his relatives were and that he was looking for them too.

When his aunt from Belgium, Eleni Shechidis, began to search for her disappeared husband and complained to the Belgian police for the disappearance of the Sechidis family and himself, then the Greek authorities began investigating the case.

The research eventually led to Theophilos Shehidis’ arrest on August 8th. Then confess everything – cool.

The young student told police that he had committed the murders of defense and being a victim of a family conspiracy, as they “made a psychological war” because he knew he was a “child of another mother” and did not tell him the truth.

Sechidis was tried on June 20, 1997 at the Drama Joint Circuit Court in five times life imprisonment. He was transferred to the Korydallos Prisoners’ Psychiatric Hospital where he was found dead on 12 February 2019.

The most likely cause of death is a heart attack, as he was facing serious cardiac problems in the last years of his life (he was overweight) and was taking medication.
