The 43-year-old woman who lost her life in Sotiritsa, Larissa, reportedly wanted a divorce when her 54-year-old husband broke into her brother's tavern, where he worked, and shot her in the cold, with her death being instantaneous.
It is reported that the husband and perpetrator learned that his wife visited a lawyer when he went to Larissa for work, most likely to file for divorce.
Her intentions seem to have angered him and he traveled from Athens to Larissa where he killed her. "It simply came to our notice then. The woman wanted to leave. He wanted to leave and separate. He found out and went up to kill her ", say sources from the area to protothema.gr.
According to larissanet.gr, one hour before he killed his wife, around 9:30 a.m., the 54-year-old was in the city of Larissa and asked to meet with the lawyer who had taken over the order from the victim to start the divorce proceedings.
Initially, the 54-year-old did not find the lawyer in his office and called him. No contact is recorded other than the phone call, as there was no update or appointment. The 54-year-old left Larissa at 10.30 a.m. was found in Sotiritsa, where he killed his wife.
He invaded the tavern armed
The 54-year-old stormed his wife's brother's tavern in front of dozens of eyewitnesses and killed her. Immediately, he tried to escape. However, they managed to immobilize him and disarm him.
Police officers were called to the tavern, who handcuffed him and took him to the Larissa Police. The motive for the new crime has not yet been clarified.
Police are taking testimonies from witnesses, while they have blocked the tavern and are trying to get all the information about the murder of the 43-year-old.
Once the case is completed, he will be taken to the Larissa Public Prosecutor's Office to be prosecuted.
"He came from Athens and killed her"
The president of Sotiritsa, Vassilis Letsios, told protothema.gr that the 43-year-old had returned to her village 4 to 5 months ago to help in the business of her brother who after an adventure with health is in a rehabilitation center:
"He was not here, he came from Athens and killed her. What can I say, we have lost them. The girl was from the village and she had married him from Athens and they lived there. A few months ago, however, because her brother was seriously ill, he had come to Sotiritsa and helped in his tavern. Now none of us knows what problems they had with each other.
"What I learned is that she came from Athens and killed her inside her brother's shop. The girl was 43 years old, he was older than her. They were married for many years because their children are close to 20. The girl must have been here for at least 4 to 5 months ".
