Alkis suffered a “martyr’s death, slow and painful”, testified the forensic expert Leda-Kalliopi Kovatsis, with whose expertise the trial of 12 accused of killing a 19-year-old student and wounding two of his friends took place. .

“Better to be shot, better to fall off the balcony. This one minute was an eternity for Alka, ”said the witness who performed the autopsy on the body of the deceased young man.

In response to questions from the District Attorney and a request to evaluate the findings of the forensic examination, Ms Kovacis stated that Alkis “would not have been saved even if he had been outside the hospital.” “He was finished,” he said, and elsewhere mentioned that his head was “smashed” by the blows he received, “with the greatest possible force.”

Experiences from Other Cases of Sports Violence

An eyewitness recounted her experience of examining victims of fan violence, pointing out that the common denominator of the finds was blows to the head and legs. He testified that these injuries were not accidental: “Recently I have seen too many victims of sports violence. I don’t see any damage to the abdomen and chest. I have the impression that a “teacher” is sitting behind him, who tells them “heads – legs,” said the medical examiner to the applause of Alka’s relatives and friends.

Earlier, the court granted the district attorney’s request to present to the court the clothes the 19-year-old was wearing on that fateful night so that the medical examiner could begin to compare and describe his injuries. In addition, a sickle was presented, on which the genetic material of a 19-year-old was found.

“Hitted with at least five different instruments”

The medical examiner was asked to describe in detail her scientific findings during the autopsy, confirming that Alka’s death “was the result of fatal injuries to the lower extremities and traumatic brain injuries.”

She identified at least five different tools used by the perpetrators during the murder. “Alka’s body has traces of injuries inflicted by three different stabbing and cutting instruments, as well as at least two different blunt instruments,” the witness noted.

At the beginning of the process, she called on Alka’s parents to leave the courtroom, which they did. “Since what we are about to hear is very difficult for everyone, I, as a mother, advise parents to leave the room,” said the director of the AUTH forensic toxicology laboratory.

The trial has been adjourned and will continue with the same witness to be called to answer defense questions.
