Tomorrow Brestas will testify before the 16^th ranked investigator, who asked for an expert conclusion by a physiatrist. The lawyer of the shooter says his client does not remember what he did.

In three days, from December 20^th until December 22^nd Brestas was spreading death on the streets of Athens. He was driving a Cherokee Jeep and was shooting a 9mm gun. Four people were injured – 16 years old kid from Afganistan, 45 years old Bulgarian citizen and two Greek citizens – a man and a woman with serious trauma from the gunshots.

A gun shot in the air was what betrayed him. The cartridge case was found n the house of a female citizen in Koridalos. The police caught the shooter after they collected a lot of information from people, who helped for his fast arrest. Minutes before that the police received an anonymous phone call for the location of the car and it’s owner. At the examination of the jeep initially there were found cartridge cases of 9mm gun and later on in his house was found the weapon, from which were shot 12 bullets. The official notice of the police was few hours late until the ballistic examination proves with certainty that this exactly is the maniac shooter. In the past days the police examined over 100 jeeps similar to the ones of the shooter.
