A crime of jealousy appears to be the reason for the deaths of two people in the Nea Zmirni neighborhood of Athens.
According to exclusive sources provided by Top Channel correspondent Artur Bibe, the two victims are suspected to be Albanians. The 45-year-old victim, according to police, has a Greek identity card, but was born in Albania.
Sources told Top Channel that the couple had an argument outside the entrance of the building and the man then pulled out a pistol and shot the 45-year-old woman several times, leaving her dead on the spot in the building's hallway.
A little later, he killed himself with the same weapon, shooting himself in the head. The weapon was found under the victim's body, and the coroner who examined the bodies said it was an execution and suicide.
There are security cameras in the building where the victims were found, which filmed the incident, so the police now have no doubt about the authorship of the incident.
It is learned that the 45-year-old's daughter lived in the area, while so far it does not appear that they were spouses, but rather a possibly erotic relationship that ended with the extreme act of murder./TCH
