The trial for the murder of young student Eleni Topaloudi in November 2018 in Rhodes is slowly coming to an end, and today’s examination of the 21-year-old defendant is episodic.

The 21-year-old completed his apology and received a storm of questions from the court, followed by a brief dialogue between the two defendants, since under the provisions of the new Code of Criminal Procedure, they can now ask each other questions.

Until the last moment, they blamed each other:

23 years. What did you do to Eleni?

21 years. What I did What you did;

23 years. I asked first;

21 years. Tell the truth in court.

23 years. I have said to him

The 21-year-old previously appears to have been embroiled in controversy and has been repeatedly criticized by prosecutors for directly accusing him of lying.

“One attracted girls and the other paid to share them,” said the Attorney General of the Joint Jury. The prosecutor referred to the modus operandi of the two accused, separating the role of each of them. “He attracted them and the other paid to ‘share’ them,” a defendant of Albanian descent who completed his apology today told the source.

The prosecutor examined the accused, contesting several points in the defense of the two accused and, above all, the accusation that the victim was the one who asked to have an affair with the accused.

The defendant’s responses showed that he and his co-defendant Roditis were attracted to the girls and that a few days before the crime they had attempted to bring two other girls to Roditis’ cabin, which he had attracted again. However, one of them made an excuse and they finally returned. The defendant even stated that “it bothered him that they lied” and that he took it selfishly.

The prosecutor’s questions revealed his complete questioning of the allegations that his victim asked for the “love trio.” “If Eleni had asked, she would have accepted you into her home, she had no reason to go to Lindos.”

The 21-year-old defendant claimed that he had met Eleni Topaloudi three days before the crime and insisted that his girlfriend had sent a message, which he later deleted from his cell phone, “with which he asked the three to meet.

The prosecutor made it clear to him that he believed such a message did not exist and that if it did exist, he could have erased it but would have stored it in a way that only he would know.

The defendant claimed that on the night of the murder, Roditis’s truck was taken because he had no money to put gas. “My impression is that the other person was covering their financial deficits. One finds the girls, that is, you, and the other puts the money.”

The prosecutor asked the younger defendant about the time they arrived underneath Eleni’s house, after 11:30 p.m. He replied that he had sent a message to the student to whom he was writing “we have arrived” and she asked “who did he contact?”. Then he went home.
Fiscal: Did he tell you to go upstairs?
Accused: No
Fiscal: Didn’t know who M. was? (defendant Roditis) Did you come up to settle the dispute?

The prosecutor reminded her of the testimony of Eleni’s friend, according to which at that time the two students were talking on the phone and Eleni told her that the bell rang and that she was probably the girl he had known.

Fiscal: Time is up and Eleni wonders who she is. What kind of communication are you talking about? I tell you that you leave suddenly without any consultation and when you leave the camera you get caught.

The prosecutor estimates that Eleni followed the accused of Albanian origin. because their agreement was to go for skewers and for this reason he asked them to make a stop in the Kalathos area where there is a souvlaki restaurant, which was closed at the time. He also said he considered it possible that the first defendant would propose that they go to his home in Lindos to eat, which “Eleni did not even know where she was.”

According to the prosecutor, this period must have been what Eleni “realized something was wrong” and therefore sent a message to her friend asking her to contact her in an hour. Examination of the accused revealed that in the house where the crime is believed to have occurred, there was a cloak that was never found.

The second defendant admitted that he was in the room, as well as his co-defendant.

Categories for Roditis parents and grandmother

Fiscal: Record that there was a mattress in the room. This evidence was not found. We need to analyze the role of the grandmother, father and mother of the first accused in history. For them, I boldly say that they lied, as did the sister of the second accused, who said that her brother had met her a week before the crime with Eleni and that she had gone home.

Today, he said he met Eleni two days before the crime. According to repeated questions from the prosecutor about how Eleni’s house was, the accused could not, according to the prosecutor, be convinced that he had visited it, as he stated in his apology. “Will you finally tell the truth?” You have never stepped on Eleni’s house, everything is lies “.

Fiscal: Because not everyone sits together in front of the three of them. It was a cold winter night and why are you anxious from below and walking as shown in the video?

Accused: I want a break

Fiscal: No, you’re not at Hilton here, you’re accused.

The prosecutor also focused on the defendants’ accusation that that night the three allegedly played courage or truth and during which only Manolis asked and Eleni responded. The prosecutor noted that this accusation was first made by the defendants: “They have given many apologies, the first to the Coast Guard being consistent with the truth, after the lawyers enter as if they were inconsistent and even subversive.”

The prosecutor He also questioned the medical opinion presented by the defense. of the 21-year-old defendant, according to which the defendant’s passive attitude is due to medication.

Accused: Eleni was hit, M. had held her tightly and she could not react, she was pushing and crying.

Fiscal: What did you do with your hands?

Accused: I didn’t see his hands.

Fiscal: You didn’t see them because you kept them and the roles changed

The defendant also received questions from other members of the court.

Member of the court: After he offered you sex, why didn’t you start from the beginning?

Accused: Two boys with a girl usually do this one by one.

Member of the court: Who cleaned the car?

Accused: I do not know.

Court Member: Don’t you think you should clean up the car and you weren’t anxious about the car if your co-defendant’s father didn’t see it?

Accused: He had no reason to be anxious, he did.

[…]

President: Did Eleni know that after you in Lindos she will also have contact with Roditis?

Accused: No, he did not know.

President: After you say he suggested a threesome

Accused: We did what he had to say now, then came M.

Fiscal: What did he say to your friend when you called him?

Accused: That I have a student and if she has space, Eleni was by my side.

Fiscal: How did you understand it? Was he also on the trick with the trio? What did you say to him;

Accused: It was obvious. Of course, what would two children do with a student?

Fiscal: There is an Eleni house that is available. You speak the same language as the rapist with your friend on the phone. Can you explain why Eleni didn’t give him hers since they were burning like you say for a threesome?

Accused: I went alone there. My friend had no means

Fiscal: Can I tell you why you took it? Because you have never been to Eleni’s house and you are looking for people to join others.

President: Did you put his sheet on so the blood wouldn’t run?

Accused: Yes, and not to catch a cold, the hospital was far away.

Roditis Lawyer: Since you know more people, does your molecule work better? If there is a man? I am ashamed of the question.

The trial will continue tomorrow with the speech of the prosecutor of the headquarters.
