Almost six years have passed since the morning of June 27, 2018, when the Army General Staff announced to the Tsiknakis family that their 22-year-old son Manolis fatally shot himself in the head with his atomic weaponwhile on duty purpose on her island Ro.
The family of the unfortunate young man from the first moment disputed what was officially stated. The fatal wound was completely incomparable to what the G3A3 rifle carrying their child would cause.

He was also hit from the right side, while being left-handed. The technical advisers appointed by the family collected thirty-eight pieces of evidence, which “indicated” criminal actthat is why his parents and sister requested through the show of Aggeliki Nikoloulis “Light in the Tunnel” that the case of Manolis’ death be investigated from scratch.

The broadcast received dozens of serious testimonies, either from conscripts of that period or from active permanent personnel of the Armed Forces, which gave specific information about the conditions that prevailed and prevail on the acritic rock island.
Yiannis Tsiambas, gunsmith and technical advisor of the family, spoke about all the signs that point to homicide and not suicide: The shape and characteristics of the wound were not caused by a G3A3 long-barreled weapon, which is also the army’s weapon.
Instead, it turns out to be from a pistol. When someone is hit by such a weapon, massive damage to both the brain and skull is created. Which is not the case in this particular case. But there was also not the characteristic flash hider print, which is the front of the G3A3.

Testimony “bombshell” The infantryman who was in the same line as the young soldier and saw a lot spoke to “Tunnel». “The climate changed when the new senior duty officer came. He constantly raised alarms and tried to bring us to his standards, putting a lot of pressure on us. We were an Infantry unit, not Special Forces. Manolis was kind and because of his humor, we became closer” he said.
On that fateful morning they were called to report. “We, the soldiers, gathered in front of the chambers, except for Manolis and the other who was in the guardhouse with him. I asked what had happened, but no one knew, no one heard a shot. After a while, a boat entered the harbor, driven by a sergeant and inside was the lieutenant commander and the doctor,” she described.
The witness added that when the officers arrived at the pier, they ran up to Mati, where the guard was, and he followed, taking the stretcher.
“When I got upstairs, I saw the lieutenant doing CPR on Manolis. I stood over his corpse, which was with the head turned to the left and the entrance wound from the right. His eyes were gray. When I heard that a bullet had gone through his head, I couldn’t believe it. It’s impossible not to hear a shot from G3A3. Here we hear the mice walking… Manolis was killed by a pistol” he said.

“They are blocking the investigation”
“I had the nerve two months later to go to the scene of the incident. They were all in a good mood to do whatever we asked of them. There I saw lies everywhere. The craziest thing is that they described an injury to me from the left side, while Manolis had been hit from the right side,” says the mother of the unfortunate young man.
“Manolis was left-handed, but they didn’t know it. Significantly, his appearance was rotten. It was as if he had been dead for several hours,” he concluded.
