Under close scrutiny by authorities is the 65-year-old Italian partner of the 54-year-old victim, who is considered the prime suspect in the double homicide in Aigio, claiming the lives of an unfortunate mother and her 26-year-old son . The man, who lives permanently in Greece and speaks broken Greek, gave his first statement at the crime scene before being taken to police headquarters.
According to the “Revelations” show, communication with him was extremely difficult from the first moment, as he showed intense confusion and clouded thinking. Police are examining the possibility that he was under the influence of alcohol or other substances, in their attempt to piece together the puzzle of this tragedy.
In his first words, the Italian claimed he woke up at 7:30 in the morning, as he needed to accompany the 54-year-old to a scheduled medical appointment at 10:00, reported the ANT1 show. He then went to the bedroom where the mother and son were, tried to open the door, but it was locked, and when he saw he couldn’t get in, he went back to sleep.
So he got up around 11:00 and found his partner and her son murdered. Shortly before 12 o’clock, he left the house, and the first thing he did after this horrific discovery was to notify a neighbor, who then called the police.
Thorough search of the house and the 65-year-old’s car – What the mother’s defensive wounds reveal
Authorities are meticulously investigating every corner of the house in Longos Aigiou where the double crime was committed, also focusing their attention on the 65-year-old Italian’s car. The 54-year-old’s partner has been detained but denies the charges, claiming he found the woman and her son already dead.
Police searches are focused on exterior and interior areas of the residence, as well as the vehicle of the 65-year-old Italian, partner of the 54-year-old woman who was murdered. The 65-year-old has been detained to give a statement to police and, according to information, denies any involvement, maintaining that he found them dead.
It should be noted that the bodies of the 54-year-old and her 26-year-old son -who bears wounds from both an air gun and a knife- remain at the scene, as the initial forensic examination has not been completed. According to information, however, the woman bears extensive wounds on her hands, which are attributed, at first glance, to self-defense. This, according to police, shows that she likely fought with the perpetrator of the double homicide and possibly tried to protect her son.
Perpetrator shot and stabbed the 26-year-old, likely while he slept
According to information from parapolitika.gr and Anna Emmi, the 26-year-old was found unconscious on his bed, bearing a head wound from a pellet gun as well as multiple wounds from a sharp object. It appears the perpetrator shot him in the head, and because he failed to kill him, stabbed him multiple times. Most likely, he caught him sleeping. As for the 54-year-old mother, she was found dead at the bedroom entrance, indicating that she probably realized what was happening and attempted to prevent the tragedy. The mother appears to have fought for her life, as she bears defensive knife wounds.
According to the same sources, a knife was found embedded in a flower pot in the house’s yard and is expected to be examined to determine if it was the murder weapon, while all other knives found in the house’s kitchen were also confiscated.
