A Turkish smuggler was killed on Tuesday morning while trying to ram the vessel of the Greek Coast Guard off the coast of Kos.
According to information, coast guard officers spotted a speedboat during its petrol and they started chasing it when the smuggler on board refused to stop despite receiving a signal to stop by Greek officers.
The smuggler tried to ram his boat against the Coast guard’s vessel prompting officers fire in the air as a warning.
It appears that some of the bullets ricocheted and hit the smuggler causing his death.
His body was brought to the hospital in Kos to conduct an autopsy.
According to sources, the smuggler had dropped off earlier seven illegal immigrants at Psalidi beach, who have been identified by Coast Guard officers.
