Body of a 54-year-old manwho, according to investigators, was killed and thrown into the river Ludias under Thessalonikidiscovered after several days of searching. According to Greek media, the body was bound with wire and chain.
The crux of the matter

Judging by the data Proto Themethe body was discovered on Friday morning, almost a week after the murder. The identity of the deceased has yet to be confirmed through official procedures, but authorities have little doubt that he is a 54-year-old man who was being sought after the crime was reported.
It was not possible to immediately identify the deceased: the condition of the body turned out to be difficult for visual identification. At the same time, as reported News247 And Athens Voicethe body was tied with wire and chain, which coincides with the investigation data.
According to Greek media, the body was found not where the search had previously been concentrated, but approximately five kilometers from the specified zone. This may mean that the current carried him away from the original place, or that the criminals did not accurately indicate the point where they dumped the deceased.
What, according to investigators, happened
According to the case file, the 54-year-old man was shot, after which investigators believe his body was tied, weighed down and dumped in the river. Ludias. In publications Dnews it is said that before the body was thrown into the river, it was hidden in the trunk of a car.
The investigation believes that the purpose of these actions was to hide the crime and prevent the quick discovery of the body. And yes, the version looks like a plot from a crime chronicle, where human life, by some monstrous logic, turns out to be cheaper than a few birds and a moment’s anger.
Two men were detained in the case: 43 year old And 44 year old. They face serious charges, including premeditated murdercomplicity, illegal possession and use of weapons, as well as violations of drug laws.
According to Newsbombthe second accused was also taken into custody. 44 year old man. He, according to the publication, claimed that he only wanted to scare the victim and allegedly did not intend to kill her.
Version about pigeons
One of the strangest details of the case is the motive given by the accused. According to the investigation, they claim that the conflict arose due to pigeons: supposedly the deceased stole birds from one of them.
However, law enforcement agencies treat this version with caution. There are too many things in the case that seem disproportionate to such an explanation: the use of weapons, transportation of the body, the attempt to hide it in the river, chains, wire and weights. If this really started because of pigeons, then we are not faced with a “domestic conflict”, but a terrible illustration of how a minor quarrel can turn into murder when weapons, drugs and a complete lack of brakes are nearby.
According to information Newsit, 43 year old the accused had previously denied participation in the murder and claimed that he was trying to prevent the crime. According to him, he allegedly “frozen” at the time of the shooting, and then followed the co-defendant while transporting the body.
How the case was solved
The case began to unravel after a witness told police that there were people who saw the murder and the subsequent transportation of the body. After this, searches began in the river area Ludiasas well as the detention of suspects.
According to EfSynthe defendants were allegedly using drugs before the murder. This detail is also studied by the investigation, as it may be important for assessing their behavior before and after the crime.
The investigation is ongoing. Investigators will have to finally establish the motive, the exact role of each of the accused, the route of transportation of the body and the circumstances under which the shot was fired.
Editorial comment
Murder by the River Ludias looks like an extremely harsh everyday tragedy in which an absurd conflict, weapons and drugs formed a deadly chain. The version about pigeons sounds almost absurd, but it is precisely such absurd reasons that sometimes become the background for real violence. Now the main thing is that the investigation establishes not a beautiful version, but a real picture of the crime.
