Serial rapist dubbed 'the Beast of Kavos' falls 100ft off a cliff and breaks his back while fleeing police in Greece

A serial rapist dubbed ‘The Beast of Kavos’ broke his back when he plunged 100ft into a ravine while fleeing police in Corfu, Greece.

47-year-old Dimitris Aspiotis, who raped at least seven Brits, fractured his leg, hip, and spine, and ruptured a kidney after plunging into a ravine last Friday.

He was reportedly arrested after a three-hour rescue operation to remove him in a stretcher on the Greek holiday isle, and has been in the hospital under police guard, the Sun reported.

Police had been hunting him since he was linked to the rape of a 34-year-old Albanian woman two weeks ago and months after his release from jail. The Albanian woman was repeatedly raped at knifepoint for three days after being dragged into a forest.

The serial rapist was caged in 2012 for raping up to 100 women, including at least seven British tourists. He would drag women into woods and repeatedly rape them, sometimes for days.

But he served just six years of a 52-year sentence because of a law change.

‘The Beast of Kavos is now facing an immediate return to prison to serve the rest of his sentence after he breached his parole conditions.

Brit victim Kayleigh Morgan, 33, who campaigned against his release, said: “I hope he stays in pain for the rest of his life — it’s time for the Greek authorities to throw away the key.”

BA stewardess Kayleigh, from West Drayton, West London, added: “I warned he would strike again and was proved right.

I’m just glad he was caught before yet another woman’s life was ruined.”

Aspiotis was jailed for 52 years in 2012 but walked free in 2018 after convincing parole chiefs he was a changed man and had reformed. But his release sparked outrage, with thousands signing a petition demanding his immediate return to jail.
