CORFU. A case file is being prepared against the woman for the murder of her husband, and she will shortly (11:30a.m.) she will be taken to appear before the Prosecutor.

The 50-year-old woman was arrested on the charge of murdering her husband and has been questioned by  police since the early morning hours. A case file is being prepared against her, and she will shortly be taken to appear before the Prosecutor.

Dionysis Politis (68) was lying lifeless, with multiple stab wounds on his body when the ambulance service arrived at his home in Perama. The paramedics responded immediately to the call made to 166, but there was nothing left for them to do. The house was in disarray, as if a struggle had taken place. The call to 166 was made around 3:30 in the early morning hours by their 11-year-old daughter.

Shortly before the afternoon, she confessed to the crime. Earlier, the police had found a bag with bloody clothes and the knife in the rubbish outside the house.

The violent domestic situation had repeatedly involved the police and the courts, as mutual complaints—three times in 2022, and again in January and February of 2024—had resulted in arrests and trials. Sometimes one, sometimes the other. Early this Saturday morning, however, the curtain finally fell on this drama.
