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.
