New evidence is emerging in the tragic case of the Finikounda double murder that shocked public opinion on October 5. The nephew of 68-year-old Kostas Tomaras and his girlfriend spent two hours with the investigating magistrate last Friday, providing crucial information that could change the course of the investigation. Although the official procedure for victim support representation usually lasts only a few minutes, the couple appears to have given extensive testimony. The 33-year-old nephew presented his version of events to authorities for the third time, having already testified twice to police.
Finikounda: Critical phone communication after the crime
According to exclusive information, the nephew revealed a significant detail during his second testimony. He claimed that half an hour after the fatal shooting in Finikounda, his girlfriend called a 31-year-old friend of his to inform him about the tragic incident.
The striking element is that this 31-year-old friend turns out to be the employer of 22-year-old Ch.T., the alleged mastermind of the murder. As the nephew characteristically stated: “After the attack, he is the first person I asked my girlfriend to call, because I was in shock. She called him from her mobile phone because mine was at the murder scene”.
Disturbing coincidences in the investigation
The Homicide Division is gathering increasingly more evidence revealing disturbing coincidences. The central question puzzling investigators is why the 33-year-old chose to specifically inform the employer of the alleged mastermind.
Additionally, exclusive information reveals communication between the deadly duo who visited Finikounda with someone from the camping site, just hours before the double murder. These elements are expected to be clarified next week, when the competent prosecutor approves the lifting of telephone secrecy for all mobile phones detected in the Finikounda area on October 5.
Defendants’ testimonies awaited
The testimony of the two 22-year-old defendants is awaited with particular interest. The alleged physical perpetrator I.M. has not yet given an official statement, unlike his accomplice.
Through his lawyer, I.M. leaks specific elements for his defense:
• He has no experience with weapons as he has not served in the military
• He has no reason to be involved in matters concerning his co-defendant
The testimonies of both before the investigating magistrate are scheduled for Sunday, October 19.
Shocking testimony about the weapon and wig
The testimony of 22-year-old Ch.T., the alleged mastermind, contains shocking but contradictory statements. The young man presents himself as unaware of his accomplice’s intentions, claiming that he constantly assured him that “everything is arranged”. According to his testimony, he discovered the silver revolver in the guitar case he was using as a backpack only when they arrived at the hotel: “I opened the case to get something and then I saw for the first time a revolver, silver colored, and a blonde wig. When I asked the co-defendant, he told me ‘with this I’ll fire one shot in the air and he’ll give me everything including his mother'”.
The Finikounda case continues to reveal new dimensions, with authorities gathering increasingly more evidence that may lead to the full revelation of the truth.
