According to magnesianews.gr, the verdict, announced shortly after 7 p.m., was unanimous and the defendant was found guilty of the two homicides, which were fully imputed, the court ruled, rejecting his claims of unimputability due to mental disorder.
Upon hearing the sentencing late Tuesday afternoon, the father of the two brothers broke down in tears feeling vindicated.
The defense attorney asked for the mitigating factors of prior lawful life and that he was prompted to his actions by the behavior of the victims, but the request was denied.
The trial continued with the testimony of the perpetrator's grandmother as a defense witness, while the defendant testified in his apology that he did not remember the circumstances under which he stabbed his estranged wife and her brother.
This was followed by the advocates' speeches, while the prosecutor recommended the guilt of the accused according to the indictment (for manslaughter with intent, with malice aforethought and serially, in a calm mental state, completed and attempted, illegal carrying and use of weapons, as well as for domestic violence - bodily harm in series).
