Two Kalashnikovs Used in Domokos Prison Murder

One of the two Kalashnikovs fired against a 47-year-old Domokos prison warden, who was shot and killed outside his home in the village Kouvela in Fthiotida on Saturday, was apparently used in an attempted bank robber that took place in Aspropyrgos in 2012, press reports said on Monday. Following the murder, authorities launched an immediate investigation, but have yet to locate the vehicle or the suspects.

Nonetheless, a ballistics examination of the bullet casings that were recovered from the scene revealed that one of the two weapons used in the attack has been used before. According to local reports, the weapon was used by a gang of four men – possibly Russian Pontian expatriates – who fired against a bank entrance and ATM, after smashing the main window with a stolen jeep several years ago.

Officials suspect that the assault rifle may have been sold on in 2012 following the aforementioned bank robbery, but they are not ruling out the possibility that the gang could of been used for the murder the 47-year-old prison warden. The investigation is also examining whether or not the murder was orchestrated by several inmates from Domokos, which was recently upgraded to the new “Type C” and houses quite a few bad boys such as notorious crime bosses, dangerous terrorists and urban guerrillas.

Before being appointed as the prison warden in 1995, the 47-year-old victim had worked at the prison facilities in Korydallos as well as in Diavata. Prior to his death, reports claim that he was receiving serious death threats from imprisoned members of organized crime groups.
