Police show 'rape kit' found after serial rapist 'Beast of Kavos' was arrested

Greek police have published photos of an apparent 'rape kit' discovered following the arrest of the so-called Beast of Kavos. On Friday, Dimitris Aspiotis was arrested after he plunged 100ft down a cliff in Kavos. Police officers scoured the area and found a stash of items close to where the 47-year-old was arrested.

 They included a shotgun, pliers and two screwdrivers. Several mobile phones, gloves, knives, a solar charging panel, batteries, an oil lamp and a candle were also uncovered. Aspiotis, who has been dubbed the 'Beast of Kavos', broke his back after into a ravine on the Greek holiday island. He was reportedly arrested after emergency workers hauled him out of the spot on a stretcher. 

 According to The sources  authorities had to launch another manhunt for Aspiotis earlier this month. Two weeks ago an Albanian woman reported she was dragged into a forest and repeatedly raped at knifepoint for three days. Police say she reportedly identified her bearded attacker as Aspiotis, who survived his fall with multiple fractures. He was said to be in hospital under police guard in the island's capital of Corfu Town last night after the plunge last Friday at Lefkimmi. 

 The rapist is said to have fractured a leg, hip and spine and ruptured kidney in the fall. He reportedly is now faced with an immediate return to prison after allegedly violating his parole conditions. British victim Kayleigh Morgan spoke out last September after learning her tormentor had been freed from jail 43 years early. The British Airways stewardess, who bravely waived her anonymity to speak of her horrific ordeal, demanded answers on his early release. Kayleigh was a holiday rep in 2010 when Aspiotis attacked her in Corfu. 

 He had been released just six weeks before the assault, after serving just half of a 
six-year sentence for raping three British women in incidents between 1997 to 2005. 

 Kayleigh was among Britons he raped in 46 days in 2010, and she described how he subjected her to a 14-hour ordeal. It was feared Aspiotis had preyed on up to 100 women. The case caused sparked international scandal when it emerged detectives had identified him as their prime suspect immediately after a previous rape in July, 2010. 

 He raped four more four more women, including Kayleigh, ­before police got in contact with the British Consulate to request help tracing Aspiotis. Authorities launched a manhunt and captured Aspiotis after he had been on the run 18 days. In 2012, Aspiotis, was jailed for 52 years. But after being released early, he was confronted on This Morning in September 2019, after sneaking back to the resort where he committed his crimes.

 Morgan appeared on the show to speak about her ordeal. She told how she was spending the summer as a holiday rep working in Kavos in 2010, when Aspiotis targeted her. Aspiotis came up behind Kayleigh as she took an afternoon stroll on the beach and asked her for the time. He then hit her in the face and dragged her into the woods, taking her phone and money so she could not escape him. She told how he raped her five times during a 14-hour ordeal that left her fearing for her life. "I had no idea what else he was capable of doing," she told Good Morning's Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield. The rapist's early release prompted protests from British MPs, who Greek authorities to intervene.

 After she fled him she went straight to the police, despite her rapist's warnings he would kill her if she reported him. Police showed her a picture of Aspiotis immediately after she told them about the attack. "It makes me feel sick that they knew he was out there," she said.
