A brutal crime against a 47-year-old victim was committed on Roumbesi Street in Chalandri by a 28-year-old man. The perpetrator and the victim were not in a romantic relationship, while the perpetrator was cynical, confessing to the police that he killed the victim because she had “defamed him to everyone” and “was going crazy.”

“I couldn’t sleep at night for six months. She had defamed me to everyone I knew, even the priest in the church meal center,” the perpetrator said after his arrest. He claimed that he hadn’t spoken to the 47-year-old for about six months: “I hadn't talked to her for six months. I didn’t talk to her.” “I was going crazy because no one was talking to me. And today I went to kill her,” said the 28-year-old.

“Help, he has a knife”

According to information, the unfortunate woman lived in the apartment building where the crime occurred and was talking to the perpetrator in the hallway before he stabbed her. Shortly after 11 in the morning, a female resident of the apartment building came out of the building and heard the 47-year-old shouting at her “Mrs. Roula help, he has a knife!”. At that time, she fled in terror and called 100, but by the time she finished the call, the 28-year-old had stabbed the 47-year-old several times in various parts of her body.

Information indicates that the man and the woman were not romantic partners, but had met a few months ago, in January, in the church meal center. According to information avaoilable to NGTV, the woman, originally from Patras, suffered from mental illness and was known to fall into bouts of depression alternating with persecution syndrome, during which she hurled verbal abuse even against her own family. She had become an outcast living from handouts and church meals.
