Maziotis' hideout discovered

The terrorist was recognized by a local woman as the inhabitant of a flat on 27 Ypsilantou street, on the boundaries between the suburbs of Marousi and Pefki.

The unit has isolated the house and is searching to see if there are any persons inside, while bomb disposal engineers are also on site in case there are booby trapped items or entry points.

The dwelling in which Maziotis lived with his companion Paula Roupa and their child had been rented a year and a half ago under an alias.

One of the three keys found on Maziotis at the time of his arrest fit the lock on the house. A neighbor identified Maziotis as the person living on the fifth floor of 27 Ypsilantou street.

After the site has been secured, forensic experts will take over scouring the flat for clues, finger prints, and DNA samples.

At the same time, police will also be checking the garage space Maziotis had been using while renting the flat.
