He killed his wife and committed suicide. This is - so far - the authorities' explanation for what happened yesterday in Prossotsani, Drama, where a 64-year-old man killed his 59-year-old wife and then turned the same shotgun on himself and committed suicide.
Unfortunately, this is yet another femicide in the long list.
Neighbors' testimonies indicate that the 64-year-old man, after killing his wife, stayed inside their house for a while before deciding to end his own life as well.
The couple from Prossotsani in Drama had two daughters, one of whom went to their home today, which is how the new femicide was revealed.
The chronicle of the horror
It was 08:30 in the morning when the horror was revealed. The couple's daughter went to her parents' house because she couldn't find them.
There she saw what she will never be able to forget in her life: her mother dead in the living room of the house and her father in the bathroom. There she had decided to end his life.
[/P]A scream was all that could be heard in the neighborhood. One scream and those who knew the couple "froze."
"Today I just heard 'help'. Then I saw her daughter crying. I ran, I went there, I called the ambulance," a neighbor of the couple described to newsit.gr.
She does not hide that "I fell from the clouds. I can not rest since the morning. We never heard any trouble, we thought they were the best couple. Behind closed doors you don't know what's going on."
It all happened shortly after 20:00 on Monday night, according to what another neighbor described to newsit.gr. A woman who heard the shots but her mind didn't go to such evil. "I heard two bangs yesterday at about 20:00 and 22:15 at night. I didn't know what they were," she says. And shocked she adds: "They were a very good family, how did this happen?"
"I knew they were getting divorced, he had given her 20,000 euros."
"I knew there were some problems between them and they were getting divorced," says for her part to newsit.gr the first cousin of the 64-year-old perpetrator and suicide. According to what she said, the couple had made arrangements on how they would divide their property.
The close relative of the perpetrator, trying with difficulty to hold back her tears, and the 64-year-old had frequent communication and described him as "a sensitive and sweet man who I don't know what has happened to get to this point."
The cousin of the perpetrator said that "two days ago he had given his wife €20,000 because he was leaving the house. Apparently it's the share of the house because they had built it together. What was the reason for the murder? I really don't know, I can't understand what could have intervened."
