The wife of the 68-year-old man killed in Corfu has confessed to the murder, according to information from protothema.gr.
The man’s body was found in their home, and nearby, police discovered their 11-year-old daughter’s blood-stained clothes and the murder weapon, a kitchen knife.
The motives behind the crime are still unclear, but the couple had previously come to the attention of the authorities for incidents of domestic violence, leading investigators to focus on the wife from the outset. There were three reported incidents of domestic violence: the first in 2022, when the husband filed a complaint against his wife, and two more in January and February of 2024, with both parties filing complaints against each other.
The coroner, Mr. Ioannis Aivatidis, who conducted the forensic investigation, found that the victim had one deep wound from a sharp and piercing object, located in the left subclavian region (below the collarbone). The wound, believed to have been caused by a kitchen knife (similar to the one found by police), resulted in the man’s death due to internal and external bleeding.
