Police and the fire brigade in western Mani, Peloponnese were mobilized on Tuesday, searching for two men aged 25 and 26 years old that went missing in the area.

The two young men had set off on a motorbike from Kardamyli shortly after midnight on Monday, heading for Kalamata, but never arrived at their destination.

Their relatives, fearing that the two young men may have been victims of an accident, reported their disappearance to the Police Department of Kalamata.

An EMAK emergency rescue team composed of two men with a trained dog has been sent from Elefsina to assist in the search and the two young men were eventually found dead in a ravine, near Gaitses region.

According to the newspaper Eleftheria tis Kalamatas, the two men, aged 25 and 26, had been shot.

The police are now investigating the case, searching for clues that could reveal the motives of the double murder and lead them to the perpetrators.

The coroner’s report who arrived at the scene of the crime to perform an autopsy is expected to shed more light on the case and police have already asked the people who last saw the two young men alive and the friends of the victims to testify.
