Italian suspect appears in Aigio court for double murder

On 13 June 2026, a 65‑year‑old Italian resident appeared before the investigating judge in Aigio, Greece, to enter a plea concerning the killing of his 54‑year‑old partner, Maria, and her 26‑year‑old son, Olympios, in their Loggos home. He denies involvement, stating he was in another room and woke to find the bodies. Prosecutors have charged him with intentional homicide by joint intent. Police investigations highlight financial disputes over property and the son’s plan to move his mother to Germany as possible motives, and report no evidence of a break‑in; security‑camera footage shows no third party. Forensic analysis of DNA, gunpowder and other evidence is pending. Later that day, the victims’ funeral was held at the Saint Demetrius church in Loggos, attended by family and local residents. The case continues to attract considerable local attention.
