The friend of 40-year-old Grigoria Vorvi, who was found dead on a house rooftop in Kalamata following drug use, was arrested by police earlier this morning. The 46-year-old Octavian M. from Romania is the person who gave heroin and drug paraphernalia to the unfortunate Grigoria for use. The woman couldn’t withstand the dose and died as a result, leading to the arrested man now being charged with homicide.
According to journalistic sources from parapolitika.gr, the unfortunate woman’s mother appeared before Sparta police on the afternoon of July 17th, reporting the 40-year-old’s disappearance. Grigoria, although born in the US specifically in Brooklyn, had moved with her mother to Sparta. According to her mother’s complaint, the 40-year-old left home on the afternoon of July 10th to go swimming with her friend Kostas D., heading to Kalamata, and her traces were lost from then on. It often happened that she would be away from home for one or two days, but as days passed, her mother began to worry.
Kalamata: From the beginning of the mystery to the confession
Police located her friend Kostas D., who told them that they indeed went to Kalamata, but at some point she arranged a meeting through a dating app with a Ukrainian friend and left alone. He returned home without knowing the 40-year-old’s further movements. The man’s statements were confirmed, and police reached the Romanian friend’s trail through the 40-year-old Grigoria’s social media profile. Octavian M. initially claimed to police that they indeed met briefly and then she left.
Police knew that the 40-year-old had problems with narcotics. Investigating the 46-year-old foreign national’s past, who permanently resides in Sparta, police found that he had previously attracted authorities’ attention for domestic threats and bodily harm, an incident that occurred on December 7, 2024.
After investigations, police understood what had happened. Once they gathered the necessary evidence, they called the 36-year-old again hours ago for testimony, where he finally confessed that he was the one who gave her the heroin quantity, syringe, and other paraphernalia for use. He didn’t know where she would go to “shoot up” as he characteristically said, but he left for his home, something that was indeed proven during the investigation of his claims. Police handcuffed him and he is expected to be brought before the competent prosecutor charged with homicide.
