Two 18-year-olds who confessed to murdering 26-year-old Constandinos Sgouros and 25-year-old Yiannis Kommatis are to testify in a meeting with the prosecutor of Kalamata on Monday. A plethora of Sgouros’ relatives gathered outside the courtroom from the early hours of Monday morning where security measures are Draconian, according to tharrosnews.gr.

18-year-old Nikos Moschandreou is believed to have fired the rifle when he saw the two victims take his friend and accessory, 18-year-old Panayiotis Mitsos, and force him towards their car at around midnight on Monday, August 18.

“We were scared and trembling, whereas Panagiotis vomited,” says Moschandreou, adding that they were too afraid to go near the bodies of the two men they had just killed.

“We dragged one body to take it further up and throw it but we didn’t like the area and turned back. We put both bodies in the farm truck’s wheelbarrow and searched for an area near Mani where we could leave them, as we did,” he says. “We went to my house in Filothei and parked outside. We used a hose to wash down the cart and threw away some of their things and our blood-stained clothes into the garbage and the next day we threw away their bags into another nearby garbage can.”

They say that the reason they had attended the meeting with a weapon was due to the fact that Sgouros had stated that he owned a Glock gun and a Smith & Wesson hand-gun.

The murder was carried out after the two 18-year-old boys failed to procure steroids after allegedly paying 800 euros to Sgouros. The double homicide has drawn attention to the use of anabolic steroids in gyms across Greece. (CLICK HERE for more information about the steroids trade in Greece.)
