In a notable development in the investigation surrounding the murder of a 27-year-old man in New Peramos, Greek authorities from the Homicide Department have uncovered the vehicle utilized by the perpetrators. This significant finding came 17 days after the victim's body was discovered. The breakthrough occurred when the victim's uncle alerted the police following an accidental encounter with two hikers who spotted the burnt car near Agios Ioannis Korakas. Investigators are linking the vehicle, which was stolen from a doctor on January 4 in Vilia, Attica, to the crime due to its matching make and color with descriptions of the assailants' car.

The area where the vehicle was located raises concerns for the police, as it lies in close proximity to both the stream where the victim's body was found and only a few meters away from the location where a 59-year-old businessman’s body was discovered in February 2024, who was shot 18 times and found inside a burned vehicle. This discovery opens the possibility of connections between the two murders, suggesting a deeper pattern of violent crime in the region that authorities need to explore further.

Authorities are now tasked with examining potential links and motives that may connect this case with other violent incidents in the area. The theft of the vehicle and its connection to the brutal murder highlights ongoing issues with crime in the region and could lead to further investigations into other unsolved cases. The police are appealing to the public for any additional information that may aid in resolving this disturbing case, as they continue to piece together the timeline and circumstances surrounding the young man's tragic death.
