Complete, at noon today, in Patras, the forensic examination of the bodies of the four members of the family from Andravida, who were murdered in their home last Wednesday.
As the head of the Patras forensic service, Angeliki Tsiola, told the Athenian-Macedonian News Agency, "both the body of the 32-year-old father and the body of the 37-year-old mother bore injuries to the head from a short-barreled firearm". As for the two children, aged three and two respectively, Ms. Tsiola told APE-MPA that "the cause of death of both of them is suffocation by obstruction of the external orifices of the airways", while regarding the time of death of all four family members, she said that "from the time of the first autopsy in the house, that is, at about 9:30 last Wednesday evening, about four and a half to five hours had passed since the time of death".
A sample has also been taken for traces of DNA so that this evidence can be used to identify the perpetrator.
Meanwhile, police are continuing investigations to locate a man, a resident of Andravida, who is considered a "key person" in solving the case and whose whereabouts have been lost since last Wednesday night.
At the same time, police officers continue to take statements from people who might know something and could help the investigation progress, while the results of laboratory tests on the evidence found in the house and the warehouse where the four bodies were found are awaited.
