What has come to light about the torture that a 22-year-old girl and mother of a 2.5-year-old baby went through for years at the hands of her 28-year-old husband causes chills and disgust.

This is an unprecedented case in local history, which did not leave prosecutors and judicial officers, but also police officers who dealt with the case, unmoved.

The 22-year-old woman came to Volos in 2021 from Albania, after her marriage to her 28-year-old compatriot and since then she lived locked inside the house with their child.

Her husband beat her mercilessly every day. In fact, he beat her severely when the gender of the child became known because he did not want a girl. The girl had no contact with anyone for 3 years so that she could ask for help.

When the child was born they lived for five months with closed shutters. Mother and infant did not see the light of the sun. In the courtyard and only in the courtyard they were allowed to go out, and that after five months.

yes, the 28-year-old wouldn’t let the mother even visit a doctor for the child’s vaccinesnor to call a doctor at home.

The shopping was done by the 28-year-old, who sometimes worked in construction and sometimes in livestock work.

Last night and while the woman was screaming, he decided after the successive episodes of violence and beatings to mobilize the neighborhood. Neighbors went outside the house and knocked on doors while calling the police. Once the 28-year-old realized there was no threat, he opened the back door to escape and the neighbors stopped him and immobilized him until the police arrived.

The police arrested him and when they entered the house they saw a human tangle in a corner. It was the mother with her two-year-old daughter. The mother who had taken her child in her arms was covered in blood and with signs of strangulation.

An ambulance was immediately called and the woman and the child were taken to the hospital. The 22-year-old did not know Greek and with the help of a compatriot she explained to doctors and police that they caught her shortly before murdering her by strangulation.

“I have eaten harder wood, I have come to death many times. He threatened me that if I run away for Albania he will come and kill my parents,” she said in her testimony and described her husband as a man who followed mafia rules.

The 28-year-old was taken to the investigator yesterday and asked for a deadline for Tuesday, while the mother and child are in protective status by prosecutor’s order.

In his appearance before the prosecution authorities, the perpetrator was speechless and did not seem to understand the seriousness of the events, nor the importance of being referred to justice for felonies.
