Heraklion Borizia: One bullet lodged in the spine, another in the ribs of the 39-year-old
According to initial findings, one bullet penetrated through the back of the agricultural vehicle’s bed, through the cabin and seat, to “lodge” in the 39-year-old’s spine at the coccyx level. The second bullet, also from a Kalashnikov and considered the fatal one, penetrated the driver’s door and struck the 39-year-old in the ribs. This bullet has lost its metal jacket, which is believed to have remained inside the vehicle’s door. The jacket is considered crucial evidence as it bears trace areas, and its discovery would allow identification of the weapon if found. The victim, as revealed by the autopsy, sustained two other gunshot wounds to the shoulder and leg. Additionally, according to reports, the 39-year-old has some metallic particles in his scalp area, which have not yet been identified as pellet traces or something else.
In total, according to the same sources, the agricultural vehicle driven by the 39-year-old has more than 10 holes around its perimeter, indicating that the perpetrators surrounded the vehicle. The 4×4, which was examined and photographed at the massacre scene, has been transferred to the Heraklion Police Department. There it will be examined by officers from the Crime Investigation Bureau of the Heraklion Police Directorate, in the presence of technical advisors expected to be appointed by the families.
