The 17-year-old suspect, who has confessed to the crime, appeared before the investigating judge. He is accused of fatal injury<\/b> of the 15-year-old in Kallithea<\/b>.<\/p>\n
The 17-year-old offers a different account of the events that unfolded on Wednesday night in Kallithea before the 15-year-old was killed, who speaks of a raid by fans that culminated in the bloody incident.<\/p>\n
According to protothema.gr, in the statement the 17-year-old gave to the police, he describes how a group of about 25 people wearing Olympiacos jerseys arrived on Panagi Tsaldari Street looking for an AEK fan. A chase ensued with the perpetrator\u2019s group, which ended in front of the apartment building where the 17-year-old stabbed the 15-year-old in the chest.<\/p>\n
\u201cYesterday at 6:00 p.m., I met up with my friends M.P., K.K., K.D., and two other kids from the neighborhood, N. and I., I don\u2019t know their full names.<\/p>\n
We sat there for two or three hours, and around 10:00\u201310:30 p.m. we left and went to Peronia Park, located on Kremou Street. It\u2019s a short distance, so we walked there. The park was very crowded, so we didn\u2019t stay there, and just as we were about to leave, P.-D. H. caught up with us and said, \u201cI\u2019m by the river\u2014come hang out.\u201d<\/p>\n
We walked there again since it\u2019s only a five-minute walk. We found him by the river, and as soon as I saw him, I realized his leg was swollen. I didn\u2019t have time to ask him what had happened, and shortly after, 15\u201320 people wearing Olympiacos jerseys came toward us from the Moschato\u2013Kallithea bridge.<\/p>\n
Mr. K. told them, \u201cHold on, guys, we\u2019re not fans.\u201d They started closing in even more menacingly, and as soon as I saw G, a guy with long hair holding a rock said to him, \u201cWe know who you are\u2014you\u2019re an AEK fan.\u201d<\/p>\n
G told him, \u201cNo, I\u2019m not involved,\u201d and then the long-haired guy threw the rock at him, but missed. K and I ran toward Megaloupoleos Street, and two of them chased us. The kid I accidentally stabbed later, and one with a baton. At first, they went after K but couldn\u2019t catch him because he\u2019s skinny and fast; but they caught up with me, since I\u2019m more heavily built.<\/p>\n
The guy with the baton tripped me, causing me to fall. When I fell, the guy with the baton hit me on the right knee, then he went to hit me in the head, so I put my arm up\u2014and ended up getting hit on my left arm\u2014and that\u2019s when I yelled at them, \u2018You idiots, I\u2019m not a fan,\u2019 the 17-year-old states in his testimony, adding that the 15-year-old was holding the knife; he took it from him and brandished it, not with the intention of injuring him, but to scare him.<\/p>\n
\u201cThen the second one pulled a dagger out of his hand, but it fell to the ground. I grabbed it before he could pick it up again to protect myself; I stood up, held out my hand with the knife to scare him, and I took a step forward while he took one step back, causing him to come into contact with the knife and injuring him somewhere in the upper abdomen.<\/p>\n
I didn\u2019t want to hurt him, and I thought that by holding out my hand with the knife, I would scare him and he would leave. When he got hit, he took a step back, lifted his shirt, and I saw him covered in blood. I was wearing a black sweatshirt with \u201cUltras\u201d written on the front in yellow letters. I threw the knife into a green trash can on the next corner, between Kremou Street and the previous alley.\u201d<\/p>\n
He then describes his actions after the crime, saying that he learned from TikTok that the victim had been seriously injured.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was terrified and walked home. I called my best friend, told her what had happened, and we met at the 14th Junior High School in Kallithea, which is near my house. Later on TikTok, I saw that someone had been seriously injured, and I realized it was because of me. I got home around 2:00 a.m., and I didn\u2019t fall asleep until just before 4:00 a.m. because I kept thinking about what a stupid thing I\u2019d done.<\/p>\n
In the morning, when I came downstairs, my mom woke me up and asked, \u2018What happened? Why is the police downstairs looking for you\u2014someone\u2019s dead.\u2019 I told her what had happened, and then she read about it on the news. As soon as I told my mom, I went down to the police,\u201d the 17-year-old emphasized, concluding his statement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
