In the capital, police on Thursday said they are investigating the death of a man who was found near the Thiseio ISAP railway station on central Ermou Street earlier in the day.

The unidentified man, who investigators believe may have been homeless, had sustained injuries on his head that appear to have been made by a sharp object.
