Authorities in Ano Liosia, Greece, are investigating the brutal murder of a 72-year-old man discovered dead inside his car late Saturday. The victim was found with multiple severe injuries to his head and abdomen, suggesting the use of a sharp object, a crowbar, or a stone.

Police suspect the murder occurred several hours before the body was found, possibly as early as the previous day. The victim was discovered by Civil Protection officers patrolling the area due to a high fire risk. His body was located in the back seat of his car, which was parked on a side road in Ano Liosia.

Investigators have identified a woman who reportedly had contact with the victim as a key focus of their inquiry. Authorities are also exploring the possibility that the crime is linked to a robbery. They believe the murder may not have taken place at the location where the vehicle was found, suggesting the body was transported there afterward.

The victim's body has been transferred to the Forensic Service for an autopsy to establish the precise cause and time of death. The investigation is ongoing as authorities work to piece together the victim's final movements and contacts.
