Nea Smyrni murder-suicide investigation

Overview

In Nea Smyrni, Athens, a 48-year-old Albanian man allegedly murdered his 45-year-old former partner before committing suicide. The incident occurred early on a Sunday morning outside an apartment building. Preliminary investigations suggested the attack was premeditated, with reports indicating the suspect may have ambushed the victim while waiting in a vehicle.

Forensic pathologist Sokratis Tsantiris reported that the perpetrator approached the woman with a weapon, kicked her twice, and forced her to kneel before shooting her once in the head. The perpetrator then died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the temple. While forensic examinations found no signs of prior physical abuse on the victim’s body, investigators noted the attack was highly planned. Authorities have since identified the weapon as an illegal revolver.

New details from the investigation reveal the perpetrator had a history of domestic violence and stalking, including a 2016 arrest in Albania. The victim’s family stated she had been living in fear, having recently changed her locks due to the man’s unauthorized entries. The suspect’s wife testified to significant behavioral changes in him over the previous 18 months.

Investigators believe the motive may be pathological jealousy. Police are currently analyzing digital evidence, including mobile phones and electronic devices, to reconstruct the events leading up to the crime. Security footage has captured the moments of the attack, which authorities describe as showing extreme aggression.
