A woman originally from Poland is accused after 6 years of murdering her husband by giving him quantities of mercury.

The case that looks like a thriller occupied the prosecutorial authorities of Thessaloniki for the last 6 years until today the prosecutor prosecuted her for intentional homicide.

The woman was referred to apologize to the Thessaloniki investigator.

The file of the case file seems to have been initially filed but was withdrawn at the initiative of the prosecutor and finally the woman was charged with the death of her husband.

How did the police track her down?

The man – around 60 years old – had been hospitalized in the summer of 2018 at the Papanikolaou hospital in Thessaloniki, with a possible ischemic episode but this was not confirmed. During his hospitalization, it is reported that doctors found suspicious discharges of mercury from his ears.

After being discharged, the man (a citizen) died in September of that year, his death being attributed to pathological causes, as stated on the death certificate.

The suspicious amounts of mercury that had been detected during his previous hospitalization, rang a “bell” in EL.AS. and under these conditions, the process of exhuming his body was initiated for further investigations.

According to the same information, the forensic findings that followed revealed excessive concentrations of mercury (a heavy metal) in his organs, so procedures were initiated for further laboratory tests.
