The estranged husband of a 40-year-old woman was arrested in the midday hours of Thursday for killing her in the middle of the street in Menidi. He was reportedly arrested in the Fili area.
The 50-year-old man was spotted alone by a Greek police patrol outside a building in the Fili area. According to information, he had visibly consumed alcohol while allegedly trying to hide in the building under construction.
Meanwhile, not once, not twice but three times the 40-year-old woman who was brutally murdered on Thursday morning at the most central point of Menidi had denounced her estranged partner for domestic violence.
According to information from well-informed sources, the victim of the attack had said in her complaints that the 50-year-old man, who is the main suspect in her murder, was consuming large amounts of alcohol and becoming violent, resulting in him beating and threatening her.
The last time the woman crossed the threshold of the police station to report him again for domestic violence (threats, bodily harm and insult) was on May 7, 2024. The man was then arrested and taken to the prosecutor and given an explicit trial date of Friday, May 17, 2024. The domestic violence commander called her two days after the incident and she responded that she was okay.
The 40-year-old woman was granted an order for a forensic examination and was given information, instructions and printed material in order to receive, if she wishes, the necessary material assistance from the relevant institutions. In addition, she was informed of the possibility of installing the ‘Panic Button’ application on her mobile phone and was given a code to access this application. At the same time, she was informed about the possibility of being transferred to a shelter and stated that she did not wish to do so.
“Daddy killed mummy”, cried the daughter of the 40-year-old woman murdered in Menidi
A witness who spoke to MEGA said that, immediately after the murder, the 40-year-old woman’s daughter arrived at the scene, started crying and shouting at the police and saying “let me through, I think it’s my mum”, asking for help, crying and talking on the phone with her minor brother saying “dad probably killed mum”.
At the same time, shocked and a resident of Menidi, who when she arrived at the place where the 40-year-old woman from Albania was found dead saw -beside the body of the unfortunate woman- the 40-year-old woman’s daughter in shock talking on the phone and saying that her father killed her mother.
“A little girl came, typically here at the scene, and said ‘maybe it’s my mom’ while she was crying and screaming,” he said. “She showed a picture to the police and that’s how they identified it was her mum. She said her mum didn’t go to work today and after showing the photo to the policemen she told them that her dad killed her. “The resident claims the couple had bought a house recently in the area, while she says of the 40-year-old’s daughter: “She was on the phone saying ‘they’ve killed my mum, they’ve killed my mum’, she was very upset.”
“She was saying ‘maybe my dad killed her, he found her on her way to work’.” As she explains, it’s likely the girl was talking to her brother at the time and telling him: “Daddy killed Mummy”.

As described by the businesswoman, who was in her shop at the time, the customer heard the girl calling for help and alerted the police.
“I come in at 5.10 in the morning, I’m drinking my coffee and a customer comes in and says ‘close the door, don’t open the door because a girl was killed here, I called the police’. I was scared and I didn’t ask him but then he tells me not to open the door but he called the police. The girl was screaming ‘help, help’ and he called the police,” he said.
