Thessaloniki, Greece – A harrowing incident has left the community in Thessaloniki in shock, as authorities investigate a possible murder-suicide involving a police officer and his estranged wife.
The grim discovery unfolded on Tuesday morning in the tranquil seaside suburb of Kalamaria when concerned neighbors heard gunshots and promptly alerted the police. Upon arriving at the scene believed to be the woman’s residence, officers found a seriously injured woman, aged 42, who, tragically, was already deceased by the time paramedics arrived. Her estranged husband, a 38-year-old police officer, succumbed to his injuries shortly afterward.
The Athens-Macedonian News Agency (AMNA) reported that the 38-year-old was indeed a member of the police force. According to accounts from witnesses, he had carefully timed his actions, waiting for his children to depart for school on the bus before proceeding to his wife’s apartment.
