The two bodies were carried and thrown off a bridge at a gorge. The young man was interrogated until late last night and the weapon used to kill the men was found.It was a rifle that belonged to the mother of one of the assailants. The signal of the two young men’s cell phones gave away the location of the murder.
Early this morning, the second man involved in the murder, arrived at the police station with his lawyer.
A coroner investigating the case, said that the two victims had been tortured prior to being killed and were forced to fall to their knees. The bodies of both Sgouros and Kommatis had bullet wounds in their backs, according to police sources, indicating that they were shot at close range.
