The victim was found shot at the witness’s house. The murderous revolver, which was covered with his head and his right hand , belonged to his friend. His own was the bloody knife found next to the captain. The same man found him in his yard, but police and doctor arrived at the site much later. Thanasis Lambrou died during his transfer to Kranidi Medical Center.

The witness said he often allowed his friends to use it for sexual encounters, but without giving them any keys. He claimed he was the one who opened the door. When asked by headquarters who were they but he preferred not to answer.

The witness still spoke in court about a small house that existed in the villa area and which used by the staff from time to time. The space in question had noticed that while this house was not in operation, someone had used it. The electricity was switched on, and in the fridge he found juices that the victim used to drink he said.
He also mentioned other incidents that fell into his perception. He said that one night when the captain and the maid who had a shift and had to be in the villa, had left with him with a small speedboat. The two of them went to Spetses to watch a concert.

In the same place came the sister of the accused and in a little time appeared herself. After saying hello, the accused told him that the captain was sick and had stayed at home. The witness was persistently asked about the time when the defendant left the area, as he had initially testified three different versions. These were at 12, 12.30 and a quarter too one at noon. As much as the president pressed him, the witness said he could not recall in particular, and he concluded that he had left at around one while the accused about a quarter and a half hour before him.
