The 8-year-old eyewitness to the unimaginable tragedy that unfolded in Stratoniki, Halkidiki, when his 36-year-old father shot and killed his 39-year-old mother, in front of the child’s frightened eyes – injuring him too – and then ended his life, remains in sedation.

According to information from GRTimes, the little boy is still hospitalized under sedation in the Intensive Care Unit of the Hippocrates Hospital of Thessaloniki, with good oxygen and having, however, escaped danger.

The child, according to GRTimes hospital sources, underwent surgery, as he had a deep shrapnel wound between the elbow and the palm, while it is very likely that he will undergo surgery again, as it is estimated that there are fragments left in his face as well.

In the next period of time, he is going to be examined by an ENT, in order to assess his condition.

The hospital’s team of child psychologists is on hand

However, the family and doctors are more concerned about the psychological state of the child, who experienced a heinous crime, capable of leaving him with an unhealed mental trauma.

We remind you that the 8-year-old was taken to Hippocrates Hospital in a state of shock, as it became known, he walked for hours in the blood, next to the bodies of his parents.

As sources from the hospital point out to GRTimes, the psychological support team, consisting of child psychologists, is on standby to provide psychological help to the child, in a second phase, after he wakes up from sedation and completes the required surgeries.

The death of the 39-year-old is witnessing

According to the findings of the autopsy conducted yesterday at the Forensic Service of Thessaloniki, the 39-year-old received four shots from a hunting rifle.

According to the forensic findings, the 39-year-old woman died a martyr’s death. He suffered injuries to his face, back, neck, shoulder and right armpit. According to information, she suffered a heart attack and had a lot of blood loss from a ruptured lung, while her death was caused by the combined injuries she suffered and the severe chest injury.

The unfortunate woman, as reported by the same information, tried to defend herself by putting her hands on her face, while the perpetrator and gunman seems to have chased her to “destroy” her in the children’s room, in front of their 8-year-old son. The minor was injured by shrapnel from the carbine.
