A 40-year-old Albanian woman was found stabbed to death in Menidi, Greece this morning. The case is raising concerns of femicide, with authorities focusing their investigation on the victim's estranged husband.
The woman was found on the junction of Parnithos and Aristotelous streets with a knife wound in her abdomen. According to ERT, she had filed two complaints of domestic violence against her 50-year-old husband in the past year, the most recent one on Holy Saturday.
Police sources report that the woman was given a panic button but it's unclear if she used it. She was also offered shelter but declined.
Local media outlet OPEN reports there might be a key witness who saw the murder. Authorities believe it was not a robbery as the victim's bag was found at the scene.
The investigation is ongoing, with forensics examining the scene for evidence and searching for any security camera footage.
The victim was a mother of two teenagers. According to some reports, she had filed three complaints against her husband, who was previously arrested but released.
