Patras: 8 Detainees Following Fatal Assault of 30-Year-Old

Eight people – five men and three women – have been detained by Greek Police in connection with the fatal assault of a 30-year-old man at a bar in Patras. Investigations are focused on three individuals, two brothers and an associate, who are believed to be the perpetrators. The altercation began over a trivial matter between two groups. The 30-year-old succumbed to his injuries at the hospital after a brutal beating. The incident occurred in the early hours of the morning at a nightclub in Patras. In addition to the 30-year-old's death, damage was also caused to another store owned by the nightclub owner, a cafe in the Refugees area, due to the anger following the tragic incident. Authorities have increased security measures in Patras to prevent further escalation of violence.
