Killah P Killed: Anti-Fascist Greek Rapper Stabbed to Death By Golden Dawn Member

Things continue to get scarier in Greece. The latest major story to come from the debt-addled country is the stabbing death of anti-fascist rapper Killah P. The 45-year-old suspect who has admitted to murdering the musician is a member of Golden Dawn, a hard-right, neo-nazi party that has gained a frightening amount of traction in the struggling republic. 

Via the BBC:

Mr Fyssas, an anti-fascist and hip-hop artist, was stabbed outside a cafe shortly after midnight local time in the western Athens district of Keratsini. ...

A 45-year-old man, who police say has admitted supporting Golden Dawn, has confessed to the crime, the BBC's Mark Lowen in Athens says.

Before being pronounced dead, the victim had identified his attacker to police.

Golden Dawn officials deny having any involvement in the murder of the outspoken rapper, but some reports suggest a high level of organization to the killing of P (real name: Pavlos Fyssas).

 An eyewitness report gathered by Libcom suggests an orchestrated attack.

"Around 24:00 a group of 15-20 fascists, wearing black t-shirts and military pants and boots, was deployed on P. Tsaldari street. During that time, Killah P was walking with his girlfriend and another couple when he was spotted by the fascists shouting 'what are you looking for here, you know there is no place for you in this hood.'" The unnamed source said. "The fascists hunted the two couples down P. Tsaldari street towards Gr. Lampraki avenue, where from another street, a new group of around 10 fascists came out and surrounded the guys. At that time, a car drove opposite in an one-way street, stopped, the driver came out and stabbed Killah P once in the heart and once in the abdomen."

Vigils are currently being held for Fyssas, who was 34.
