Following up from the news of the racist murder of 26-year old Shehzad Luqman in Petralona, it has now been announced by the police that the house search of his two murderers revealed three folding knifes, one pen knife, one black blade with a special handle, one air gun, one set of brass knuckles, “many” (sic) metal pellets, two wooden bats and one slingshot.

Crucially, the police report also states that the house of one of the murderers contained fifty (50) leaflets of a “certain political party” – even though it has been leaked that the party is Golden Dawn, the police refused to reveal the information officially. The minister for the police, Nikos Dendias, accused SYRIZA and KKE (which issued statements against the murder) of “petite-politics and dangerous games that aim at destabilising political normality”. By not stating that the murderers were connected with Golden Dawn, Dendias is openly covering the murderers and the Nazi party alike.

It goes without saying that, unlike many cases in the past (including the seropositive sex workers and many anarchists) neither the names nor any images of the murderers have been released so far.
