A 19-year-old football fan was murdered in cold blood on Tuesday 01/02/2022 in Greece's second-largest city Thessaloniki, which has left the country shocked. The victim identified as Alkis Kambanos, who with his two friends, was intercepted by the perpetrators at 1 AM. Coming up to the trio in two cars while they were walking on the street in the eastern district of Harilaou, the perpetrators confronted the group of friends. Quite out of the blue, they stabbed Alkis in the streets of Harilaou where the 19-year-old bled to death, while the other two victims -- Alkis' friends, are being treated for multiple injuries at a local hospital. The murder weapon, a sickle, was discovered by locals a few meters away from the crime scene, next to a garbage bin. Footage filmed on Wednesday (02/02) shows people and ultras of other clubs lay flowers, scarves, and handwritten messages to mourn the death of a 19-year-old football fan stabbed to death for supporting his club.

Suddenly 2 cars stop right here and the murderers came and asked the victims in which club do they belong to. The victims said they support Aris F.C. Then they were attacked and Alkis was stubbed inside the legs below the abdomen. They continued to beat them and then left. After a while, the police came. Alkis was a friend of my brother, he was a calm kid, he was a student at the university and he happened to be here in the wrong time. He was not someone who belonged to an ultras association or got involved in riots. He was just a casual fan like me. The murderers need to be hanged when the police find them. Imprisoning them is nothing to me, it is like letting them going home."
