According to police, the 78-year-old elderly woman received multiple stab wounds that apparently led to her death. The police found a 20-centimeter knife in the house.
Law enforcement is looking into the possibility that her 48-year-old son killed her, as he has a history of mental illness. According to iefimerida.gr, after the massacre, the attacker set fire to the apartment. A man with minor injuries (burns) was rescued by firefighters who arrived at the scene.
The man was arrested and taken to the Athens Police Department, which is conducting a preliminary investigation into the incident. According to the authorities, the detainee is likely to have psychological problems, so he was scheduled for a psychiatric examination.
The fire department was notified of a fire in one of the apartments in Paleo Faliro in the early hours of Saturday 14 May. 12 firefighters in three specialized vehicles were immediately mobilized.
