He succumbed to his injuries while being transported to a hospital.

The perpetrator was captured shortly afterward, in the nearby Almyros area. He confessed to the murder, claiming it was due to personal differences with the victim.

Police found the knife used in the murder. An autopsy has been ordered, and authorities are investigating the attacker's immigration status while continuing their investigation.
