Scenes of a real horror unfolded yesterday in Andravida, when a couple and their two children were found dead by the third child in the family.
According to the initial assessments of the police officers who stayed all night at the family's house near the church of Agios Konstantinos, collecting evidence, the initial scenario that the father had taken the life of the mother and their two children 3 and 2 years old and then committed suicide, seems to be refuted as so far in the yard, where the bodies were found, only shell casings were found and not the 9mm gun.
Thus everything points to all four being victims of murder, with one of the first persons to enter the frame of the culprits being the ex-husband of 28-year-old Maria, who lives permanently in Loutraki and is wanted. On the other hand in the village it is reported that the culprit of the murder may be another person with whom the couple had differences.
Teams from Ilia, Achaia and Attica, "combing" today from the morning the crime scene, and the surrounding area to find evidence that will lead them to solve the quadruple murder. The coroner Angeliki Tsiola is at the home of the victims, to examine the bodies of the children and their parents.

The 12-year-old begged for help
According to patrisnews, the details of the atrocious crime are even more shocking as eyewitnesses describe how when the 12-year-old child found his mother, stepfather and two brothers in a pool of blood. In fact, he dragged the younger of the two children out into the street a few meters in order to desperately ask for help from passers-by.
Passing citizens who saw the sight immediately alerted the police and the ambulance. An ambulance transported the unfortunate baby to the Gastouni Health Centre, where he was simply pronounced dead.
Police officers intend to have the 12-year-old examined by a child psychologist in order to resolve many of the questions that have been raised both from the moment he returned home and found himself in front of the heinous crime and from life with his family. What they are concerned with in the first instance is his stepfather's relationship with his mother, his mother's relationship with his biological father and, most importantly, whether he knew or understood any dislikes and disagreements the couple had with third parties.
The plan that did not work out for the perpetrator
According to the newspaper "Patris", the perpetrator carried the bodies of the couple and one of the two children to the yard of the house where he loaded them into a trailer in order to eliminate their traces, but he did not have time to complete his sick plan, since something seems to have scared him and he fled. The baby was found dead in his cot.
The police officers in charge of the case are initially awaiting the results of the coroner's macroscopic examination, as well as the findings from the initial searches inside the house. Today the forensic examination of the four bodies is expected to be carried out in Patras.
