Police investigations led to a shocking and unprecedented development in the Volos about the murderer who stabbed his godmother 42 times for 2,000 euros.
In 2009, she was found dead in her home by her daughter, murdered in the same manner and with 29 stab wounds on the same side of her body as the perpetrator’s godmother, a 69-year-old woman who, in fact, lived in the same three-story building as the perpetrator’s grandparents.
The police officers suspected that it was quite likely the same person had committed this crime, and they asked the Forensic Laboratories to cross-check the genetic material they had recently collected from the perpetrator with the evidence from that time.
The findings are shocking, as the perpetrator is the same person, and the victim was the mother of his defense attorney.
The lawyer whom the perpetrator had been calling on for years whenever he got into trouble with the law—namely, extortion, arson, purse-snatching, drug offenses, and, most recently, the crime against his godmother.
The perpetrator knew that woman well; she was a neighbor of his relatives, and he may have killed her for the same reasons. He demanded money, didn’t get it, and killed her; he knew very well that she was the mother of the lawyer he always called on to defend him.
The police’s official statement on the case reads: «The Volos Security Sub-Directorate has solved a homicide case committed 12 years ago against a Greek national in the city of Volos.”.
Specifically, in the afternoon of August 12, 2009, in Volos, a 69-year-old Greek woman was found dead on the floor of her home by a relative.
As it turned out, the deceased had wounds caused by a bite and a cutting instrument, mainly on the left side of her body.
A thorough examination of the evidence revealed that this is the same perpetrator who committed the recent homicide of a 75-year-old Greek woman in Volos, as the DNA collected from him was matched in the laboratories of the Criminal Investigation Directorate with DNA found at the time on the 69-year-old victim. The evidence gathered was submitted to the Volos Misdemeanor Prosecutor.».
