The hearing was interrupted after the defendants’ apologieswith the 39-year-old declaring that she is not a murderer and that she had no homicidal intent against her estranged husband.

I’m not a murderer, I’ve been in shock for a year and a half”the 39-year-old claimed, among other things, in her apology, according to creta24.

“I told him I’m leaving, I’m going to the police. That was my mistake”the 39-year-old said before the Joint Jury, adding that then the victim got up to grab her and then she attacked him with a caustic liquid.
