A new twist has emerged in the double murder case in Loggos, Aigio, after forensic analysis concluded that no blood was found on the suspect’s clothing. The 65-year-old Italian man is accused of killing his 54-year-old partner and her 26-year-old son. According to reports by ERT, the same lab examination also revealed no DNA under the suspect’s fingernails, nor fingerprints on the firearm or knife used in the crime.
Suspect Maintains Innocence, Seeks Technical Expert
The Italian national—currently detained at Korydallos Prison and formally charged with two counts of premeditated homicide—is steadfast in his claim of innocence. Through his defense attorneys, he has officially requested the appointment of a technical advisor to assist in his case.
Cleaned Crime Scene, Unusual Absence of Gunshot Residue
According to investigative sources, the crime scene—and the weapons involved—appear to have been thoroughly cleaned with alcohol. The absence of gunshot residue on the suspect’s hands is not considered surprising: the weapon used to kill the 26-year-old Olympios—a flare gun (‘flamethrower’-style device commonly mislabeled as a ‘flamethrower’ but technically a flare pistol)—does not discharge traditional propellant residue upon firing.
Authorities believe it would have been physically impossible for mother and son to have killed each other, based on the evidence collected. As a result, investigators suspect the 65-year-old suspect had sufficient time after the killings to wash off blood and meticulously sanitize both himself and the crime scene—potentially altering or erasing incriminating traces.
Legal Action by Victim’s Sister
The sister of the 54-year-old woman—who was stabbed multiple times and found alongside her son in a pool of blood inside their home in Loggos—has already filed a civil lawsuit in support of the prosecution’s criminal charges.
Key Witness Provides Additional Testimony
On June 17, 2026, a key witness—the couple’s close friend who was the first to arrive at the scene after being called by the suspect himself—gave supplementary testimony to judicial authorities. He arrived before police and was the first non-family member to discover the bodies.
Timeline of Events
