Antonis Vlassakis

In the aftermath of the triple homicide at the offices of the European Navigation shipping firm in Glyfada, southern Athens, last Monday, the motive of the perpetrator, Aristides el Burai, has yet to be clarified.

The shipping company where a former caretaker opened fire on Monday killing three people and himself by suicide has denied reports that the perpetrator had been given a home after his employment with the company was terminated.

The ultimatum of the shipowning family to the 75-year-old foreman to leave the house he had been given to live in and his dismissal from the company a few days prior was, it seems, what led him to the triple murder - the owner of the shipping company Maria Karnesi, managing director Antonis Vlassakis and ship captain Ilias Koukoularis - at the firm's offices in Glyfada, southern Athens on Monda

Maria Karnesi was shot in the head and chest, her son-in-law Antonis Vlassakis in the head and Captain Elias Koukoularis in the shoulder - The announcement of the Hellenic Police.
