The perpetrator of the murder of the 50-year-old head of the community of Lithovouni, in Aitoloakarnania, an Albanian citizen, is expected to apologize to the authorities tomorrow, while investigations are bringing to light new data that shed light on the motive for the crime that has shocked the area. According to an investigative show on a Greek television, the victim's wife has testified that her husband had threatened her with death. In a statement, she expressed fear for her life and that of the perpetrator of the crime, with whom she is suspected of having a secret affair.
"I am shocked. Kostas has been threatening me repeatedly lately that he would kill me, both me and the alleged perpetrator. I was afraid for my life and for his life. I am most concerned about the mental health of my child," she stated, also expressing regret for the loss of the 50-year-old.
A village resident, speaking on the show, claimed that he had initially advised the victim to "leave the situation and leave," hinting at ongoing tensions between the parties.
According to preliminary information, the 44-year-old perpetrator, whose name has not been released, had ambushed the victim and shot him three times with a firearm, while the 51-year-old was driving by in his vehicle. As a result of the shooting, the victim lost control of the car, which ended up in a field in the area. During the search at the scene, police determined that the victim was found face down in the passenger seat, while a shotgun was also found inside the vehicle, a fact that indicates that he was armed.
A few hours after the crime, the perpetrator contacted the police himself and asked to surrender, stating: “Come and take me from the house, I killed her”, while during the arrest he also handed over the murder weapon. His defense lawyer, Christos Tsiboukis, stated that “90% of what has been heard and written about the case is unfounded”, but admitted that the role of the victim’s wife is key in fully unraveling the incident. According to investigative sources, the main motive is suspected to have been romantic rivalry.
Fear of retaliation
Increased security measures have been put in place in the area, with the presence of police forces and OPKE officers guarding the homes of both families, to avoid any acts of revenge. Authorities report that tension remains high in the surrounding villages, while investigations continue to fully clarify the circumstances of the crime.
