Investigations into the death of former Minister Sifi Valyrakis are in full swing, following a letter from his wife to Minister of Navigation Giannis Plakiotakis, who spoke of the possibility of homicide and asked that his funeral be postponed.
Based on the new testimony, you may know News 24/7, a resident of the area located on the opposite shore at a distance of 500 meters, watched the incident unfold. He said he noticed there was some tension with a white fishing boat, six to seven meters long, with the Valyrakis boat.
Suddenly, this ship began to circle the Valyrakis, causing a ripple. The witness did not notice the Valyrakis fall, as the distance was long, but remembers that the boat made at least two circular movements around the other boat and then moved away.
Due to the distance, he could not make out letters or names on the fishing boat. A first survey does not show a ship in the area that matches the description, so it is estimated that it may be from another area. ELAS men have come from ELAS to examine the Valyrakis boat and at first glance there is no contact with another fishing boat, which would mean involvement. However, searches are being carried out to locate other witnesses, as well as the fishing vessel in question mentioned by the previous witness. The Coast Guard is trying to find as many deposits as possible.
According to reports Authorities will also take genetic material from the ship’s propeller. from the former minister, to see if Sifis Valyrakis was beaten by her or by someone else. Furthermore, the file contains, according to information, the testimony of a person who claims that Sifis Valyrakis began to argue with some people who were on board a fishing boat at 12 noon.
However, his wife had told the Coast Guard that her husband had left their home around 1:30 PM to 2:00 PM.
Likewise, in the former minister’s boat were found the two rifles that show that Sifis Valyrakis was in the boat and was in motion and something happened abruptly that caused a fall into the sea and a fatal wound from the propeller.
Also, the special key that is tied in the operator’s hand was not in his hand, but was in the machine and more specifically in the switch. This is the so-called quick stop, which is the rope that the operator ties in his hand so that if he falls into the sea, the motor is pulled and switched off.
For its part, the Minister of Maritime Transport and Insular Policy Giannis Plakiotakis, in a telephone conversation with the wife of Sifi Valyrakis, Mina, expressed the certainty that there will be an exhaustive control in the case of the death of her husband.
Mr. Plakiotakis also said that the Coast Guard’s experience in such maritime accident cases is very great and everything that exists about the case will no doubt be revealed.
What the forensic report shows
According to the forensic report, the cause of death for Sifi Valyrakis was severe head injuries, while the forensic doctor also identified injuries to the left side of the neck, which may have been caused by the ship’s propeller.
Nikos Kalogrias also states in his conclusion that the drowning was a consequence, although he did not find out before that he had suffered a heart attack. As everything shows, he could have fallen into the water due to a fainting episode and the propeller caused injuries to his head and neck.
The initial assessment was that Sifis Valyrakis fell off the ship, possibly because she was feeling unwell or passed out, while the ship continued to move. An estimate that remains in the “air”.
