An unprecedented and cruel crime was committed in the village of Agioi Asomatoi in Aegina island. A 71-year-old a woman and her 44-year-old nephew were found inside their home burned.

The firemen who entered the house were surprised when they saw the bodies. They were lying in the bed in the same position and burned from the waist up.

Up to now the evidence show that the robbers entered the house by breaking the window, tied the old woman and her nephew and locked them in the bedroom. Then they set fire and burned them alive.

“I’m shocked, probably they resisted and the robbers burned them, because they recognized them …” Stamatis Marmarinos, nephew of the 71-year-old woman and cousin of the 44-year-man, told to protothema.gr, adding “It is certainly a robbery, they killed them and burned them probably because they knew who the robbers were and perhaps they fought with them”.
