In a significant development at Domokos prison in Greece, the chief guard has been arrested based on a warrant issued by the Lamia investigator for his alleged involvement in the murder of a life-sentenced inmate. Reports indicated that incriminating witness testimonies and surveillance footage revealed that the guard had facilitated the murder by summoning the victim under the pretense that the chief guard wanted to see him. This evidence suggests that the crime was premeditated rather than a case of self-defense, leading to the chief guard facing charges as an accomplice in a serious crime.

The ongoing investigation by the Homicide Department is examining the circumstances surrounding the incident, particularly focusing on the current inmate, a Bulgarian national, who is also accused of the murder. He claimed that he acted in self-defense, alleging that he was trying to protect both himself and the chief guard during the confrontation. However, authorities are investigating the credibility of these claims to determine if there is an attempt to obscure the true nature of the events.

As the legal process unfolds, the accused Bulgarian inmate has been given a deadline to make his defense on Friday regarding the murder of the 43-year-old inmate. The complexities of this case highlight serious questions about prison safety, the integrity of its staff, and the potential for orchestrated violence within correctional facilities, prompting a closer look at protocols in place to protect inmates from harm.
