For the first time, the 40-year-old woman who fell victim to a brutal beating in Koropi speaks exclusively to Mega from the hospital where she is being treated, with the marks on her face revealing the savage abuse she suffered. “I still don’t remember clearly what happened. I still don’t have my phone, my car, I remember that supposedly we were going to pick up… (her partner) from the airport, supposedly he was coming and it was his birthday. Now whether this happened or not, I don’t remember,” says Agnes. The 40-year-old tries to cover the bruises from the blows but in vain, as her eyes are beaten and one almost won’t open.

“I still don’t remember everything”
She states that due to the blows she received to her face and head she doesn’t remember anything, while among other things she characterizes her partner’s arrest as wrong.
-The police arrested… because they claim he was the one who hit you.
-I can’t say that yet. Because my memory… I still don’t remember everything. He might have returned home and found me. But I don’t think he was the one who attacked me. I don’t believe it. Why would the father of my children, who lives abroad, return and attack me? That’s very crazy. No. Poor… And poor our family… so many rumors and various things… in reality we are a normal family. We have our issues, everyone has issues.
-… was imprisoned for this attack.
-Yes and I don’t think it’s right. I’m waiting for my memory to return.
Her partner claimed that the woman fell victim to robbers who broke into their house, but she presents a different scenario through Mega.
-And who attacked you?
-It might have been the neighbors. I smoke. I go outside when I put my children to sleep at night and I’ve heard them commenting on it. That “she doesn’t smoke inside, she smokes outside.” I have two small children, why would I smoke inside? Maybe their houses smell or something.
Her health is now progressing normally, while her father is in Greece by her side and that of her two children who are being hosted at the Children’s Hospital.
Agnes’s father is a well-known scientist in the field of Psychiatry, who specializes in family and sexual education issues in Lithuania. However, according to testimonies, he had left his own mark on the unfortunate woman’s psyche.
“I worry about my children”
Agnes’s longing and anguish to see her two sons who were at home during the attack is great.
-Are you worried about your children?
-Yes, I worry about my children. I have never, ever been apart from them since they were born. With neither of the two. And my baby. I breastfeed my baby. And I want to hug them. All I need is for us to be together, together again our family, our children and me. And with… we’ll find a solution along the way, when my memory returns. But right now I need my children and they need me”.
The 40-year-old denies being a victim of beating again
The 40-year-old described a normal daily routine:
-We are parents, we raise children together, we don’t have a wonderful relationship but we have a loving relationship when we are together. And we talk every night, he talks to my children on the phone, dinner time is a very happy moment, every night, even when he’s away and we look forward to his return.
-Some people say that in recent years you’ve had problems with…
-In recent years, because he left to work abroad and left me with a baby who was 4 months old and I was alone with the boy and the baby and I was sad. I wanted our family to be together but then I wasn’t sure and didn’t want us to move to Estonia. And so he waited. I was patient. Month by month, night by night and life went on.
-I know that… attacked you in 2023.
-It was a common… an argument we had.
-You fought?
-We had a fight. It was a domestic argument. Nothing special.
“We have disagreements but we are a normal family”
When asked if she’s trying to protect her partner, she answered:
-Some people say you’re trying to protect him because you love him excessively.
-I love him as a partner. He is the father of my children. But we have issues. We have issues, we have disagreements and such things but we are a normal family. However, beatings are not a usual situation. Certainly not. It doesn’t happen often but usually, when we fight we close the doors and don’t talk to each other and that’s all. I’ve had many bad relationships and good ones in the past. Unfortunately… (her partner) is not the first man in my life.
-I know he used to hit you.
-Yes, whenever something like that happens you say no and goodbye.
The 40-year-old is expected to be discharged from the hospital in the coming hours, but the question remains whether she has indeed forgotten the horrible things that happened in her house due to the blows or this is yet another attempt to protect the 50-year-old due to the excessive love she has for him.
“I saw my partner beaten”
All this while the 50-year-old partner took the road to prison, as his claim that their house became a target of burglars did not convince the investigator and prosecutor.
The 40-year-old’s partner and defendant in his exclusive statement to Mega said:
“I was returning from the airport that day. I also have the proof of my flight ticket. I entered the house. I didn’t notice any signs of break-in. I saw my partner beaten and immediately called the police for help. I also took a photo of her which I have on my phone and the signs of abuse are visible.
I noticed that there were blood stains in the area that were dried and I think that maybe the same day but much earlier she was beaten. I didn’t do it. I wouldn’t hurt either her or the child. I want her to get well and I’m also waiting for her to testify about what she knows”.
