Nea Peramos: Father’s Testimony in 27-Year-Old’s Murder Case

The chilling abduction and murder of a 27-year-old man—whose body was found on February 1 in a ravine in Nea Peramos—continues to unfold. On February 5, 2026, the victim’s father testified before Homicide Division officers, revealing new details. The young man was abducted outside his girlfriend’s home in Eleusis, tortured for six days, and killed last Sunday. His girlfriend, testifying as a witness—not a suspect—described the harrowing events from her perspective. Authorities identify three key individuals in the case: the victim’s father, his girlfriend, and a third person reportedly aware of the abduction and who allegedly pleaded with the perpetrators for the victim’s release. Unlike his girlfriend, the father previously told Live News that his son had received threats. He believes the girlfriend, the victim’s mother, and his friends hold critical information about the crime’s motives. Family sources revealed the 27-year-old inherited substantial real estate from his paternal grandfather two years ago—sparking tensions with his father, who once suspected him of arson against company vehicles. During his roughly 3.5-hour testimony, the father acknowledged intermittent disputes over property but denied severe estrangement. He explained he filed—and later withdrew—a 2023 complaint after a physical altercation, choosing not to pursue legal action against his son. Regarding his son’s girlfriend, he stated she likely possesses significant knowledge due to their close relationship. However, family insiders claim audio messages exist in which the father threatens his son. Journalist Vasilis Labropoulos disclosed that a fourth individual knew about the abduction and attempted to help the victim. The victim’s tablet and laptop are now undergoing forensic analysis at police labs to identify potential threats and suspects. Investigators continue examining digital evidence, witness statements, and financial records.
