The marriage proposal and the dramatic developments
According to information, the 33-year-old was in Crete on vacation with his partner and they were staying at a hotel in the area.

That same night, the man allegedly proposed to his partner, who, according to the same information, did not accept it.

In a state of agitation, the 33-year-old allegedly caused serious damage to the hotel room and left the accommodation, heading towards the beach of Agios Andreas.

The same information states that the 33-year-old had consumed a large amount of alcohol, while he had allegedly informed his partner of his intention to end his life.
