Developments are rapidly unfolding around the case of the double murder that has shocked Longos Aigio, where a 54-year-old woman and her 26-year-old son were found dead inside their home. Authorities’ investigations have focused on the woman’s 65-year-old Italian partner, who is in custody and considered the prime suspect. Evidence found so far includes items from the crime scene, scratches on the 65-year-old’s hands, and clothing that appears to have been recently washed and is being examined for blood traces. From the initial forensic examination, completed Tuesday afternoon, it emerged that the 54-year-old had multiple defensive wounds on her hands, indicating she tried to resist or protect herself from the knife attack. The 26-year-old son was found dead with a head wound from an air gun, as well as multiple stab wounds to his body. Police authorities are seriously examining the possibility that the son was the initial target of the perpetrator, while his mother appears to have intervened when she realized what was happening, trying to protect him.
Double murder in Aigio: Most likely crime scenario – Weapons found hidden in the yard
Investigators estimate the crime occurred during the early hours of the day, when the town was still quiet. According to current indications, an intense argument between the 65-year-old and the 26-year-old, who had recently returned from Germany where he was pursuing graduate studies, appears to have preceded the tragedy. The scene that police encountered inside the house leaves little room for doubt about the violence of the confrontation. Furniture was destroyed, objects were overturned, and the floor was covered with scattered personal items and electronic devices, giving the impression of a space that had become a battlefield.
During the crime scene investigation, two objects that raise questions were found: an air gun and a knife, which were carefully hidden in a flower pot in the exterior area of the house. These findings have already been confiscated and are being examined in forensic laboratories to shed light on the case. Authorities are awaiting significant results from laboratory analyses, as well as from fingerprint and genetic material checks. These elements are considered crucial for the complete solution of the incident and clarification of the circumstances that led to this tragic outcome.
Aigio: The bloodstained shirt, scratches and contradictions of the 65-year-old
Significant findings emerged from police investigations, with particular interest drawn to a piece of the suspect’s clothing found recently washed. A stain was detected on it, which is being examined in forensic laboratories, as there are indications it may be a blood trace. Meanwhile, during the interrogation, scratches were observed on the suspect’s hands, which are being analyzed in conjunction with the other evidence in the case. The 65-year-old, despite denying guilt for the murder of his partner and her son, has fallen into contradictory statements during his testimonies.
On one hand, he reportedly claimed he was sleeping at night and woke up in the morning when he tried to wake his partner for a scheduled doctor’s appointment. On the other hand, he mentioned he couldn’t open the bedroom door because the victims’ bodies were blocking the entrance. However, initial estimates of the time of death indicate the crime had already been committed several hours before the specific times he mentioned. Police are thoroughly examining this discrepancy. Additionally, authorities are investigating information suggesting the man was intoxicated on the night of the crime. They are also examining whether he attempted to clean the area to eliminate any incriminating traces.
