Vorizia: They are searching for the second man who was with Kargakis’ brother-in-law while he was firing with a Kalashnikov

The 43 year old was arrested on Wednesday – It is estimated that from the Kalashnikov fire the 56 year old Evangelia Frangkiadaki was killed

Newsroom November 6 09:46

New avenues in the ongoing police investigation into what happened last Saturday in Vorizia that resulted in two people losing their lives, is opened by the video-document that shows the brother-in-law of the 39 year old Fanouris Kargakis firing from a high point near the house where the bomb had been placed.

As it appears in the video, apart from the 43 year old, at the same spot there was a second – unknown at this time – person, who is being sought.

What is also heard clearly is the bursts from the Kalashnikov that was used.

This visual material led ELAS to the identification of the 43 year old brother-in-law of Fanouris Kargakis, the victim of the massacre in Vorizia Heraklion, as the man who was firing the Kalashnikov and from whose shots the 56 year old Evangelia Frangkiadaki was likely killed.

It is reminded that the brother-in-law of Fanouris Kargakis was arrested on Wednesday (11/5) for the weapons found in a cave located on land he owns, with ELAS listing him for participation in the gunfight.

It is noted that the above was arrested today as in an outdoor area of his property weapons, ammunition etc. were found and seized.

A relevant criminal case was formed against him within the framework of the flagrante procedure and he will be led to the competent authority, while the pre-investigation material concerning his participation and role in the armed incident was submitted to the investigating Authority for further action.

According to the same information, the 56 year old Evangelia Frangkiadaki bears a through and through wound with long travel in the body, something that suggests she was likely hit by a Kalashnikov.

Police sources report that the 39 year old Kargakis, on whose hands gunpowder residue was found, and the four brothers who are being held for the incident, appear to have had in their possession 9mm guns, which were used during the attack.
