Kalashnikov used in murder of Domokos warden traced to older crime
- Written by E.Tsiliopoulos
The Kalashnikov rifle used in the attack against the chief warden of Domokos’ high security prison on Saturday was also used in an armed robbery at a branch of the National Bank in Aspropyrgos in 2012, according to the ongoing police investigation.
Forty seven year-old Serafeim (Makis) Galimanis was gunned down by unknown individuals who fired 20 times against him as he was leaving his house, using a Kalashnikov and a nine-millimeter pistol.
The ballistics test showed the bullets from the Kalashnikov matched those collected by police outside the National Bank on September 2, 2012, when unknown individuals attempted to break down the door of the branch using a stolen jeep. When they failed, they started shooting against the bank and then ran away, abandoning the jeep at the spot.
Authorities also said that neither weapon has been linked to a terrorist attack, but investigation on the bullets will continue to determine whether they were used in other criminal activities besides the one against the bank.
