The authorities are investigating the murder of a 63-year-old woman and her 36-year-old son at their home in Ilioupoli, where they were found dead with gunshot wounds to the head.

According to the latest reports, the son was found in limbo, meaning he died just hours before he was found, while the mother had been dead for about a week.

The 36-year-old suffered a wound to his cheek and jaw, and all indications are that he did not die instantly. After all, traces of blood were found from where the carbine was found to the bed where it ended up.

The above evidence leads the authorities to the scenario that the son killed the mother and then shot himself before ending up. However, all possibilities are still open. Besides, information states that mother and son often had intense fights.

Local residents have reported seeing the mother and son since last Thursday, while a local resident reports three deafening noises that sounded like gunshots were heard last Friday night from the crime scene.

However, last night a neighbor notified the police about an unpleasant smell coming from the house. At the same time, a locksmith was notified in order to open the apartment.

When the authorities entered it they were faced with a gruesome sight as the 63-year-old woman was found dead in a chair and her 36-year-old son was found dead on a bed in the bedroom. In another room, the hunting rifle was found, which the authorities are examining if it is the weapon with which the mother and son were killed.

The back door of the house was open and the house was disturbed. Despite all this, no traces of tampering have been detected, while nothing is missing from the apartment. The father of the family had taken his own life a few years ago, while the 63-year-old mother, who is unable to testify, lived on the ground floor.

The examination of the carbine found inside the apartment is expected to provide answers, while there are also very important testimonies. A resident of the area who lives opposite stated that he had seen a mysterious man in black, who was moving suspiciously and strangely and watching the house.

The investigation into the case has been undertaken by the Homicide Department of the Greek Police.
