Kefalonia Case: Suspect's Account Contradicted by New Video Evidence

A disturbing new video emerges in the Kefalonia case, further complicating the narrative provided by the 23-year-old suspect. Ta Nea reports that this footage directly contradicts the suspect's account of his movements on the night in question, specifically his claim of meeting the victim, Myrto, at a park bench.

“

I said we would meet Myrto for a drink. She was already out with a boy. We arranged to meet near the gym and met at 23:30. From there we walked to a bench in the square.

The video evidence, timestamped at 23:20, clearly shows the 23-year-old sitting alone on the bench, a stark contrast to his deposition where he stated he was with Myrto. This discrepancy is significant, as it challenges the timeline and the nature of his interactions with the victim. Investigators are now scrutinizing why the suspect concealed communications and video calls with a 66-year-old man from Preveza, adding another layer of complexity to the unfolding investigation.

Further details revealed by Ta Nea indicate that Myrto's boyfriend dropped her off near a meeting point at 23:30, and the 23-year-old suspect then proceeded to a nearby alley. The suspect claims he left Myrto near this location because he did not want to see the 66-year-old man. However, the timeline shows the 23-year-old returning to the bench alone before heading back towards the alley where Myrto was last seen. A video call to the 66-year-old man occurred at 23:38, with Myrto reportedly present, carrying a backpack that might belong to the 23-year-old suspect.

“

I didn't leave her at home. I left her near a place where O... was because I didn't, I didn't even want to see him. I left her a little further away.

From our perspective at Ta Nea, these revelations raise critical questions about the suspect's motives and the sequence of events. The inconsistencies in his testimony, coupled with the emerging video evidence and the involvement of the 66-year-old man, suggest a deliberate attempt to mislead investigators. The focus now shifts to understanding the full extent of the suspect's involvement and the truth behind Myrto's tragic fate. The Greek public, like us, is seeking clarity and justice in this deeply troubling case.

The fateful night, at 23:38, I received a video call. She was dressed normally, sitting on some steps, outside a pharmacy, was it a bank? All I saw was to her left a kind of sack, like a bag, not big. That's all I saw. She didn't move the phone at all to the right or left so I could see that the other one (the 23-year-old) was also there.
