A 39-year-old Turkish national accused of murdering a 60-year-old OPAP agency owner in Paleo Faliro on January 19 has been ordered into custody following his plea.

The defendant expressed remorse for his actions but insisted he was provoked by the victim, claiming he had been insulted and attacked with a knife before retaliating. During his testimony to the investigating judge, the accused reiterated his claim of self-defence but stated that the knife used in the incident would not be recovered, as he had thrown it into the sea.

As part of the legal proceedings, the defendant’s defence team submitted a request for a psychiatric evaluation, which was approved during the interrogation phase.

The case, which has garnered significant attention, continues to unfold as investigators examine the circumstances surrounding the killing and the claims made by the accused.
