Agia Varvara: To the prosecutor the 69-year-old who killed his son-in-law – 2024-02-26 03:18:24

The 69-year-old who shot with a hunting rifle and killed his 57-year-old son-in-law, father of three, yesterday in Agia Varvara Aegaleo, in front of his minor granddaughter, was brought to the public prosecutor before noon.

As the 69-year-old claimed to the police, he was led to the crime because his son-in-law was treating his daughter badly, but this is categorically denied by the son of the perpetrator and brother-in-law of the victim, who is a police officer and was the one who notified Immediate Action about the crime.

As it became known from the Police, the perpetrator and the victim lived in the same family house and specifically on the ground floor the in-laws lived on the first floor the daughter with her husband and on the second floor the policeman’s son.

The chronicle of the tragedy

As the policeman testified, yesterday afternoon his son-in-law, who was a doctor in a hospital, begged him to stay a while with two of his children, because he was going to pick up his daughter from some activity.

On the ground floor, however, there was again some quarrel with the father-in-law and then he continued to go and get the child.

When he was returning home, however, the 69-year-old man was waiting for him in the yard and in front of the girl’s eyes he shot him twice with the rifle, fatally injuring him. Immediately after, the perpetrator left on foot with the rifle in hand and went to the Police Department to surrender.

On the way, however, the Immediate Action police officers caught up with him and arrested him. They were alerted by the perpetrator’s son, who upon hearing the shots ran to find his sister’s husband dead and the little girl in a state of shock.

As the son of the perpetrator stated, his parents were obsessed that his sister was not having a good time with the victim, which was not true, but instead the couple had a harmonious relationship without fights and friction.
