Many questions remain unanswered around the shocking double murder of the campsite owner and his caretaker at Phoenicianwhich occurred on October 5 and shook all of Messinia.
All possibilities are examined, the statements of the 22-year-old prisoners – executor and accomplice of the double murder – are studied in detail in order to determine the truth about the motives and the existence of more people involved in the murder. While, at the same time, even the family of the 68-year-old owner of the campsite in Finikouda, fall into contradictions regarding the property, the will and their interpersonal relations with the victim.
The reason for the 68-year-old’s nieces, the children of his 2 brothers, for whom he had a huge weakness. On the one hand, his 33-year-old nephew, his sister’s son, who was the only eyewitness to the killer and the 68-year-old’s great heir.
On the other hand, the victim’s beloved niece and her 17-year-old son. A niece who had been the 68-year-old’s weakness for years, was her go-to person, and was reportedly heartbroken when she learned of her uncle’s death. As well as her 17-year-old son who adored the 68-year-old he had as his grandfather.
This is the same woman who has stated that she “does not rule out the possibility that a relative of hers is behind the 22-year-old perpetrators of the murder.”
Speaking on Live News, a friend of the 68-year-old said of the victim’s relationship with his nieces: “I’m not going to say a name, man, when I’m not 100% sure. And I will not be unjust, because in my life I hate injustice.
But, when he was telling me that they told me to write all the property, write half the property, he looks at you, he takes care of you, when a week ago they told me they don’t want to see him and both… How do they change? Now what’s going on here? I’ve had my fun!
We in places give ours to the boys. But listen to see, because the 68-year-old is self-made and did not find it from his father. So he was buying, he didn’t want to be, he was also brilliant, he didn’t want them to be sold. The niece knew she would keep them. But in the last three years, his nephew played a very nice role. Whatever the uncle wanted, “golden” child. He used to say to me: “my sister, I will die happy. I made a child another thing. Just to tell you, I expelled his mother, so that she would not mix us with gossip and ruffians and she accepted it. What child accepts that his mother does not even go to the campsite as a guest”.
The deposition of the 68-year-old in September 2025
What the 68-year-old had reported to the authorities on 10/9/2025, regarding the first attempt against him. As he had testified, he suspected that the attack was organized by a person close to his niece.
“I have two objections that I am considering. One is a German who I had sold him (a plot of land) and the second is my niece who apparently harbored hatred for her son, who, unfortunately from what I learn, has lately been involved with bad company that I don’t trust, going here and there until dawn.
Coupled with his young age, the guy of the perpetrator’s body type, as much as I find it hard to believe, is probably one of my nephew’s friends as I mentioned, having falsified information and possibly expecting benefits that I cannot fathom. I don’t blame anyone.”
The nephew is selling his house in Finikounda for 150,000 euros
According to the latest information and while the investigations are ongoing, Live News reveals that the nephew of the victim, the 68-year-old owner of the campsite, has reportedly contacted real estate agencies in both Kalamata and Athens, with the possible intention of immediately selling the house he owns in Finikounda.
In fact, he is said to have requested the amount of €150,000.
