With his common friend Babi and the butcher who hosted the accused at his home in Klepas on January 5, 2024, the trial of the 31 -year -old murder began Monday at the Agrinio Mixed Court.

According to aixmi-news.gr, the witness talked about the butcher’s visit to his home in Klepas to go hunting as they had arranged a few days earlier. What struck was that with the arrival of the butcher, the homeowner asked him what happened to Babi as he had already been informed by his 31 -year -old mother that her son did not return home and was looking for him by calling his friends. The butcher replied: ‘I’ll find my trouble’. This was impressed as the butcher’s claim from the first moment until now has not admitted that he is involved in any way in Babi’s murder.

Another point where the category support lawyer was the friend’s testimony that the butcher actually was sleeping in his sleep, which in his view of Mr Dimopoulos confirms the testimony of the detainee of the defendant in the detention center of the Police Department:

He also talked about a cold man, who did not express any anxiety about Babi’s fate once he became known to be ignored, because he argued he did not give proper weight in this case. And he said that Babis had lent money to the butcher, but Babis had not demanded their return. But he was skeptical and anxious. ‘On this trip was a little heavy’, As the witness typically said.

Babi’s first cousin then deposited with whom he also maintained close contact and often talked by phone even when Babis was abroad. Babis had also lent to his cousin 1500 euros, but when he initially asked her he was confused that because she had lent the butcher a large sum of money she might find it difficult to serve her. When she came to Greece at Christmas of 2023 she asked for the money because she would borrow some more money to the butcher. So he took up his 2,000 -euro account which was the ceiling of withdrawal, and he also got 1,700 euros from his cousin. The 1,000 was the rest of the loans as his wife had returned to 500 euros earlier and his 700 was in cash and he returned to her account from his account to her own bank account.

He then filed his butcher’s friend with whom the defendant had contacted Babi late night. According to this witness, the butcher had borrowed 1,000 euros from Babi to make his car. He had also borrowed some money from him, and another element came to light. The butcher had received a bank loan of 17,000 euros, which, in support of the category, shows a man, financially pressured, as he seems to have been borrowed from his friends several times.

Concerning the fateful day, according to the same sources, the witness said he had seen Babi in the butcher’s butcher shop to drink coffee and himself greeted for his job. Shortly after 10 on the night of January 4, 2024, and after the butcher had taken Babi to the TEI junction as he claimed, he spoke by phone to the witness to ask him if he would go to Klepa the next day for the established hunt.

The next day he learned about Babi’s disappearance and began to worry, which didn’t happen to the butcher. Another element for which more explanations were requested by the Lawyer of Support Konstantinos Dimopoulos was the message that the witness sent to a cousin on January 6, 2024, and after the issue had received a great deal of publicity, which he said, “until tomorrow they will know.” He did not give further explanations about this but said that Babi’s mother may know more and so he went straight the next day to report the disappearance to the police.

And during the examination of this witness, the butcher’s defense lawyers Christos Tsiboukis and Iakovos Baltas tried to show that Babis could not have so much money to lend both the butcher and some friends and relatives, even though he was While its residence and nutrition costs abroad were covered by the employer. At the same time they tried to show that the butcher had no particular financial need, even though no one talked about a business that made enough money, but also borrowed as the testimonies said. In general, however, all the witnesses talked about a loan that Babis had given to the butcher, but I differentiated the amount.

The next witness was another close friend of Babi with whom they had worked together abroad, but he abandoned this job when he created a family and had a business with greenhouse in possession where he lives. At some point he also needed money and asked Babi loan for 6,000 euros. Talking to the 31 -year -old he was informed that he had lent to the butcher and even when he learned that he had disappeared, he thought something bad had happened to him because of his money.

The witness said that according to what Babis was confused, he had lent the butcher several times because the latter was leaving him with the promise that he would give him an additional amount with the refund. Even remembering Babi, his voice broke and tears when he said that his friend was a sensitive child who always helped when he saw that a relative or friend was in need and especially when he wanted to develop his job. And the butcher, according to the witness, had asked for money to make a down payment to “close” an agreement on the purchase of meat at a more price. The same was said by the previous witness who had lent to the butcher as the excuse was the same, that is, the closure of an advantageous agreement on the meat.

According to aixmi-news.gr, the accused today was sitting in his place without any reaction. He did not lean his head for a moment, and twice approached his lawyers and told them something, possibly some observations about what he heard from the witnesses.

The trial was suspended for tomorrow Tuesday, with some other witnesses, including defense witnesses, and will continue on Thursday.
