Clearing accounts for drugs is considered by EL.AS.

As part of the investigations that the police are doing to solve the homicide case, visual material from cameras of nearby shops is being examined in order for the police officers to reach the arrest of the perpetrators more quickly.

The car used by the perpetrators was found at 16:00 Friday afternoon in the Buildings area of ​​the West Mani municipality, just 10 minutes from the scene of the murder. The police have launched a manhunt in order to identify the perpetrators of this brazen murderous attack.

Information indicates that one of them has been identified.

The victim was known in night circles by the nickname “American”. The 47-year-old was shot at the junction of Hydra and Solonos streets in the center of Kalamata and ended up in the hospital after uncontrollable bleeding on Friday morning.

According to information, the victim previously lived in America with his siblings and had returned to Kalamata. According to the same sources, he had delinquent behavior and was involved in nighttime drug rings. The first evidence shows that before the shooting, the 47-year-old motorcycle rider was beaten by the two unknown people riding in the car.

The most likely scenario police are looking at is a drug settlement. According to eyewitnesses, the perpetrators were riding in a car with which they blocked the motorcyclist’s path, forcing him to stop at the intersection of Hydra and Solonos, and then got out and started beating him mercilessly. Soon after, one shot the 47-year-old, then they got back into the car and sped away.
