Woman convicted of husband Polish Professor's murder takes own life in prison

The ex-wife of 43-year-old Polish professor Przemysław Jeziorski, who was accused of being the mastermind behind his murder in Agia Paraskevi, committed suicide last night in the Korydallos women's prison. According to information, the 43-year-old committed suicide using sheets in the bathroom of her cell in Korydallos prison.

Information from protothema.gr also reports that the woman left a note before ending her life.

The murder of the Polish professor took place in July 2025 and along with the 43-year-old who was accused of being the mastermind of the crime, four people were also arrested. Among them, the 35-year-old man with whom the 43-year-old was allegedly in a relationship was accused of being the physical mastermind of the crime.

The crime in Agia Paraskevi
The crime took place on the afternoon of July 4, 2025, on Irini Street in Agia Paraskevi. The Berkeley professor, who had come to Greece to see the children he had with his ex-wife, an economist by profession, was murdered in cold blood, shortly before picking up the two minors.

From the moment the main puzzle was solved, that is, the identity of the victim was established, the investigations turned to the immediate environment - the people he knew and who knew him in Greece. Quickly, the police determined that the relationship between the two ex-spouses had gone through "forty waves" and their divorce was explosive. The ex-wife was examined repeatedly and despite her denial, the police had begun to piece together the puzzle, until they reached the full picture and proceeded to make the arrests.

The ex-spouses had irreconcilable differences not only in relation to their children, but also of a financial nature, concerning companies they had founded in the US.

The university professor's ex-wife pressured her 35-year-old new partner to find people willing to hit her ex-husband for pay, but in the process she allegedly insisted on killing him, setting up a scene that referred to a "professional" hit, organized in individual details.

The three foreigners identified by the woman's current partner came from Nafplio to Athens. The two Albanian defendants rented the car that they parked a short distance from Irinis Street, while the Bulgarian is alleged to have been the one who gave the weapon of the crime, a Tokarev, to the perpetrator, the ex-wife's 35-year-old partner.

The Bulgarian was known to the 35-year-old. He, dressed in black and wearing a mask, stood calmly in front of the Polish professor and began shooting him without hesitation. When he saw him fall covered in blood, he quickly moved away and got into the car where his three accomplices were waiting for him, a short distance away.

The four men confessed their guilt and then described the role of the woman, who declared herself “innocent”.
