Details have emerged from the serious incident that occurred in the Bournia area, in the Messinia region, where an Albanian was found dead inside a stable, raising strong suspicions of murder.
According to preliminary information, the victim is a 44-year-old man of Albanian origin, who was found with a gunshot wound to the head, suspected to have been caused by a hunting rifle. Greek authorities say the murder weapon has not yet been found at the scene.
The body was discovered by a couple who had temporarily sheltered the victim, a 47-year-old Albanian man and a 50-year-old Greek woman, who immediately notified the police.
Numerous police forces have surrounded the area and have launched intensive investigations to fully uncover the incident. Investigators are collecting material evidence, as well as verifying security camera footage from surrounding businesses, in order to identify the perpetrator and shed light on the circumstances of the crime.
The area where the incident occurred is sparsely populated and characterized by farmland and stables, which makes the investigation more difficult. So far, three people have been questioned by police in connection with the case.
