Escaped convict dead at home

Escaped convict Vangelis Selianakis was found dead in the garden of his home in the village Archontiki, Rethymno prefecture, on Tuesday after police entered his home.

The victim was found with a head wound while weapons and a grenade were by his side, while police said a shot had been heard from the residence earlier.

A medical examiner said the possibility of an accident has been ruled out and it is being probed with ballistic tests, along with the possibility of suicide to avoid arrest or being struck in an exchange of fire with police.
