The details of the mysterious death case in Neos Kosmos are becoming increasingly shocking, involving a man found unconscious after losing control of his vehicle. An eyewitness spoke to ERT and described scenes resembling a chase through the streets of Neos Kosmos: “I was on Soulie Street yesterday afternoon. It looked like a chase. The car passed with motorcycles behind it, without stopping at stop signs, nothing – it seemed like a chase to us. At first we thought police were chasing someone. In fact, it passed twice in front of us on Soulie Street. The first time it went towards Gerantoni Street, made a circle, came down Raftopoulo Street and through Saranti Street again to Soulie Street, which is a dead end. At the same speed. Everything happened very quickly. I was struck by the speed and how they were passing through the streets,” the eyewitness said characteristically, adding: “I think the chase stopped because it was a dead end where he went.” “Everything happened very quickly. I was struck by the speed. They passed through the street as if nothing existed. Because there’s a school here, children pass through.”
