Sergianopoulos was found murdered in his apartment on the morning of 4 June 2008, in Pagkrati, a central district of Athens.
[1] His apartment was found in disarray and the number of beer bottles and drinks glasses at the scene suggested Sergianopoulos had visitors the previous day.
His front door was not damaged; a fact that suggests that the murderers already knew the victim and had entered with his consent.
[2] The fact that Sergianopoulos had been arrested for drug possession in the Kolonos area in December 2007 may be related to the murder.
[5] The man was charged with premeditated murder, robbery, weapon possession and illegal entry into Greece.
