As a result of investigations, it became known that the man was killed to be robbed of the about €10,000 he obtained after selling a house, IPN reports.
According to the Prosecutor’s Office for Organized Crime and Special Cases, the one who notified the authorities about the case was a neighbor. He came to the man’s house to check why he did not answer the calls of the employees of the stores he owned. One of the stores was located right in the courtyard of his house. The man lived alone as his wife had died and the couple had no children. Forensic experts determined that the victim was hit with a hammer for at least 40 times.
