Stavros Demosthenous Murder: Perpetrators' Mistakes
Significant mistakes were made by the perpetrators of the murder of Stavros Demosthenous, leaving behind evidence that could lead to their identification.
Specifically, the perpetrators left behind a baseball cap at the site where they burned the van, two burned cartridges inside the van, and abandoned a motorcycle believed to have been used for their escape.
Additionally, the van driver allegedly did not cover his face, resulting in being recorded by CCTV cameras.
The autopsy by forensic pathologist Nikolas Charalambous showed that Demosthenous' death was caused by cranio-cerebral injury from firearm bullets. A bullet was found in the face and a penetrating wound in the head.
Investigations revealed that the perpetrators used an automatic Kalashnikov or G3 weapon, while 11 holes were found in the victim's vehicle.
