A Bulgarian convict has been transferred to the Lamia courts following his arrest for the murder of a Greek inmate in the Domokos prison. The incident took place last Sunday when the 43-year-old victim was shot dead in the prison's guard area. The accused faces serious charges including premeditated murder and firearms offenses. Following a request from the defense, he was granted a delay to respond to charges on the upcoming Friday before the investigating judge.

In a significant development, the head guard of Domokos prison has been arrested for complicity in the murder. Reports from police sources indicate that the investigating judge was not convinced by the guard's claims that the Bulgarian acted in self-defense during the incident. This revelation raises serious questions about prison security and the potential failures that may have allowed such a violent act to occur within the premises.

The case underscores the broader issues of violence and criminal activity in Greek prisons, particularly those involving severe offenses. The legality and safety protocols in place among prison staff and the institution's ability to protect inmates are now under scrutiny, as this murder raises alarm about the conditions and operational practices within the penitentiaries in Greece.
