A gunman hijacked a bus carrying 60 Japanese tourists on their way from the Peloponnese to the capital Athens early Saturday, police sources said. 

Police said the man, named as Christos Kentiras, 48, had jumped onto the tour bus after he shot dead two of his relatives in the Galatas region in the western Peloponnese. 

They said he had killed a 77-year-old woman on the island of Poros before he traveled to Galatas where he shot dead a 44-year-old man – ATHENS (AFP)
