Drama: New information about the officer’s final moments
The latest revelation was reported by police analyst Stavros Balaskas, citing information from police sources. Speaking on Live News, Balaskas noted that the 50-year-old was the head of a DIAS motorcycle police unit in Drama, and that following the crime, an alert was issued for his whereabouts. According to the information that emerged, it was members of his own unit who were called upon to search for him — and it was they who later found him dead inside his vehicle.
“There is information that when he shot himself, the car was still moving. He was found by his own team, his own people,” Stavros Balaskas stated. This detail is being examined as part of the broader investigation into the case, while authorities continue to gather evidence in order to fully reconstruct the chain of events that led to this family tragedy.
Drama: What the forensic examination revealed
The initial findings of the forensic examination carried out on the body of the 45-year-old police officer have also drawn significant attention. According to Live News, the results indicate that the woman sustained seven stab wounds, found primarily in the back and rib areas. Forensic examiners determined that one of the wounds caused severe damage to the heart and constituted the fatal blow that led to her death. Additional wounds were found to have caused injuries to the lungs and surrounding tissue.
The examination revealed no evidence of blows from any other object, and no signs have so far been identified to suggest that a significant struggle took place prior to the attack. According to the same sources, the knife used had a blade measuring more than 10 centimeters — a detail being assessed as part of the case file. Regarding the 50-year-old officer, the forensic examination identified a wound to the left temple, attributed to a round fired from a service weapon.
Authorities are also awaiting the results of toxicology tests, which are considered particularly significant to the investigation. These analyses may provide answers regarding the suspect’s state at the time of the crime and contribute to a fuller understanding of the circumstances that led to the tragedy. The case continues to generate profound concern both within the Greek Police and across the community of Drama, with the investigation in full progress as authorities pursue every available piece of evidence to shed light on the precise conditions under which the events unfolded.
