The concern of the police authorities is great against the background of the rise in incidents of domestic violence in Crete.[/B] It is not a rare occurrence that the island's police stations receive complaints from women describing moments of terror and unbelievable violence at the hands of their partners and husbands.
But apart from domestic violence between couples, the fact that several children beat their parents many times, with great brutality, is of great concern. It is typical the case of a woman in Heraklion who a few hours ago was brutally beaten by her own son in broad daylight and in public view in Ulof Palme.
What the video shows
According to information from ekriti.gr, the policemen of the Heraklion police station who handled the case, went to the house where the woman was staying after exploiting video footage that came into their possession from an adjacent business whose cameras recorded the brutal incident, despite the fact that the beating... was not reported.
In the video the young man is seen initially chasing his mother and then hitting her[/B] with punches to the face. Immediately after his act he walked away from the scene however he was arrested by the police while walking on foot near Sinani Square.
He had been released from prison a few days ago
The 23-year-old who was taken for psychiatric examination was not detained for hospitalization... But he is being held by the police authorities and will be tried in court on Monday. It should be noted that earlier this month the 23-year-old was released from jail for exactly the same reason as he is alleged to have concerned the police authorities again for domestic violence against his own mother.
The incident, which according to police sources was recorded just across the street from the mother and son's home, is one of many that are recorded daily in Crete and the rest of the country with the phenomenon of domestic violence taking on large and alarming proportions.
