Brutal murder in Agioi Anargyros with a victim of a 28-year-old girl, who fell dead from the knife of her ex-partner. The murder of a woman was brought to light by the local Police Department, to which the young woman and her friend had appealed, asking for a patrol car to accompany her home, because she was afraid of an attack by her ex-partner. The woman left the department and called 100, requesting the intervention of Immediate Action. While she was on the phone, the attacker attacked her by stabbing her in the back.
A short distance from the police station, a young woman, 28-year-old Kyriaki, fell dead from the stab wounds of her ex-partner. The 5th femicide in 2024, in just three months.
The girl’s pleas for help are conveyed by the eyewitness who was getting off the bus at the time. “I was getting off a bus. We heard the woman scream. She says, I am receiving threats to my life, she runs, while he was chasing her with the motorcycle, he caught up with her and stuck several knives in her back…” the witness reported and added “here in front of the department, he was chasing her for 100 meters, they started from the square and he was chasing her. She went to sue him.”
A little earlier, at 22.10 on Monday night, the 28-year-old had gone with her friend to the Agioi Anargyro police station to ask for help. Her ex-partner was watching her and waiting for her outside the apartment building where she lived. According to reports, the duty officer asked her to file a complaint but she refused. She asked for a patrol car to take her home and was then told to contact immediate action. The girl and her boyfriend left the police station. Kyriaki, according to information, was talking to 100 when she was attacked. “Help, he’s following me to kill me” were her last words. He didn’t have time to run away…
The 39-year-old was staying a few meters away from the AT and when the girl came out and was talking on the phone, he rushed at her and managed to give her the fatal blows. “I was right next to it, I saw it all, it’s a pity it was a little girl, he injured himself in the neck” says a neighbor.
Kyriaki had filed a lawsuit in 2020 once morest the 38-year-old for rape and domestic violence, which she later withdrew. The perpetrator had been arrested in the past for bodily harm, verbal abuse and violence once morest employees, as well as for possession of narcotics. The friend who accompanied her, in his testimony, states that the girl had broken up with the perpetrator a few days ago. Since then, he had been watching her and waiting for her outside the apartment building where she lived.
According to local residents, the couple lived in the same apartment in Aegaleo for at least a year. The 39-year-old was allegedly a drug user and the EMS had visited the house twice to pick him up.
“There was a precedent, but I didn’t know regarding it then. She was a couple with him and he was hitting her but they didn’t tell me. I was asking her, girl, are you okay? but he wasn’t talking to me. Dad, everything is fine, he told me. Then they had gone to the new house. And they took me and told me what happened,” said the 28-year-old’s father.
The perpetrator was arrested, first transferred to “Gennimatas”, then to a psychiatric hospital in Athens and then taken to the investigator and given a deadline to apologize on Thursday. Criminal proceedings were brought once morest him for intentional homicide, illegal carrying and use of firearms, supply and possession of narcotics for personal use.
Prosecutorial intervention in the murder of a woman – Criminal responsibilities of police officers are being investigated — The perpetrator’s apology on Thursday
There is a public prosecutor’s intervention to conduct a preliminary examination, in order to establish whether there are any responsibilities of the police officers who were on duty last night at the Agioi Anargyro Police Department and whether a breach of duty is established. The specific preliminary will come to succeed the conclusion of the EDE which is already “running” and has been ordered by the General Police Directorate of Attica. That is, what will emerge from the EDE is what will then judge the course of the preliminary.
The EDE examines whether the Police protocols provided for these cases were followed to the letter. In these protocols, the police regulations provide some questionnaires which the police officers are asked to address to the victims when they report such cases of abuse, family violence, etc.
Why is this? Usually victims try because of their fear to avoid direct confrontation with the perpetrator, to sue, to report directly that they are threatened, etc. These questionnaires are intended to elicit from the victim precisely the danger in which he may potentially be .
When asked regarding whether it has been discussed that the girl asked to be taken by a patrol car and whether it is true or not, an ERT journalist said that this might not happen as it is prohibited by police regulations. Only in three cases can a citizen enter a patrol car, either when they are arrested, arrested, or for a health emergency and transport to a hospital. In any other case it would be an escort. At the police station, the two police officers, the duty officer and the deputy commander, suggested to her that she should call 100 and report the fact that the perpetrator was roaming around her house on the same day and the day before and that they go and do a check for a suspicious person in the house , following being escorted by the patrol car. She seems to have denied this and said “leave it, I’ll make the call”. And indeed the girl called.
In relation to the testimony of the 28-year-old’s friend who stayed outside the office, he says that he heard the two police officers urging the victim to sue the 39-year-old. She denied it, even saying that she is not afraid of him. They then suggested that they call a patrol car to escort him.
She also said that she would call herself and indeed on her way out she told her friend that I would call a police car to accompany us. Going downstairs and while she had taken the 100, she was talking to the immediate action center and conveyed to the operator both the history, what had happened with the particular man, as well as the need for a police car to accompany her home, even saying the point where is it. And then suddenly the girl is heard screaming on the phone. This was recorded.
The perpetrator suddenly jumped in front of her, she turned her back and he jumped, as her friend describes in his testimony, fell on her and started stabbing her with the big knife.
The incident happened 50 meters away from the police station and when he was attacked and he started running towards the police station where the lookout point is. There he received the final blows. Her boyfriend was unable to react, he shouted for help, the gunman came out of the guardhouse, ran towards the 38-year-old, kicked him in the arm to disarm him but it was already too late, as he had fatally wounded the victim and had managed to injure himself .
