The woman had gone to the hospital for a varicose vein operation.

The murder of the 36-year-old real estate agent, who had disappeared in April 2017 after a visit to the Ippokratio Hospital of Thessaloniki and was eventually found dead in a steep area of Halkidiki, is being revived at the Mixed Jury Court of Appeal of Thessaloniki.

The woman had gone to the hospital for an operation for varicose veins.

The victim's husband spoke to the show "Society Hour Mega", making his own intervention.

Real estate agent's husband - "We are talking about a medical error"

"It was naive to talk about a medical error, we are talking about a unique crime, a horrendous and bizarre crime, the like of which does not exist in the history of the world," he said.

The defendant in the case is a specialist vascular surgeon, who was originally unanimously sentenced to life imprisonment for "manslaughter, committed by omission, with possible malice aforethought" and "desecration of the dead".

Asked why he believed the vascular surgeon killed his wife, the man replied that any answer he gave would be too "mild for what was really on his mind, such a sick mind murdering a mother of three in a hospital."



"From the high-level planning of the whole crime and particularly the place where he threw her, there is certainty for us that this was all premeditated," he said.

The victim's husband pointed out that the perpetrator in his initial apology memo pointed to him as a suspect in his wife's murder.

What the doctor had said in his apology

Police had considered him a suspect from the outset, as he was the last person who appeared to be in contact with them. But it was not only the telephone communications that "betrayed" him, but also the gps on his mobile phone device, which captured the entire route he followed from Thessaloniki to Halkidiki, while -in addition- in his car was found biological material of the deceased.

He had argued in the primary trial that the woman's death was the result of a medical error, while attempting to justify his subsequent actions he apologized for losing it when he found that the patient was dead. "I didn't find the courage to go to someone to say what had happened. I couldn't accept it or think calmly. I put her in the car and started driving. I was completely lost," he said.

In the case, the Administrative Court of Appeal of Thessaloniki awarded the relatives of the 36-year-old woman compensation of 700,000 euros, according to their lawyer.
