Kyriaki Griva murder trial moves to Athens Court of Appeals
The murder of 28-year-old Kyriaki Griva, which occurred on April 1, 2024, outside the Agioi Anargyroi Police Station, remains a central focus of the Greek judicial system. The case involves two distinct legal proceedings.
The first concerns the perpetrator, a 40-year-old former partner who was previously convicted of murder, weapons possession, and drug offenses. While the defense is attempting to argue that the crime was linked to severe psychopathology, the initial court rejected claims of diminished responsibility, ruling that the perpetrator acted with full awareness. The case has moved to the Athens Court of Appeals for a second-degree trial. However, the proceedings faced a delay until February 15, 2027, due to the illness of the defense attorney and the absence of the defendant.
The second proceeding involves four police officers who have been referred to trial for fatal omission. They are accused of failing to take necessary actions to protect Griva after she had sought help at the police station. The family of the victim has expressed deep outrage regarding the perpetrator's continued detention at the Korydallos Detention Psychiatric Hospital, claiming it lacks a valid medical or legal basis.
