The heavy psychological problems her son faced since 2023 was mentioned by the mother of the perpetrator of Sunday Griva.

“When he was 23 years old I realized he was in a completely depressing state, he didn’t get out of the house, he was sleeping. I realized that something was wrong. We pressed him and told us he was taking drugs. 2023 all year was his worst situation. He wasn’t the man we knew. He had a persecution mania that everyone looks at him and want his evil and conspiracy against him. He had reached the point of saying that I was not his mother. “Bring my mom back”. We went straight to the psychiatrist and said that he was in the spectrum of schizophrenia and must be hospitalized. My son told me that he did not want to and we met with the doctor to take his medicines, “said the witness, who triggered a strong reaction from the Griva family, when referring to the victim’s parents, wondered why they did not do anything.

Witness: Why did they do nothing until she killed her?

Mother Sunday: But kill her … Five knives .. your pride. And once you didn’t come to talk to me. To come to apologize .. and as if you were lies. You are not ashamed ..

The witness testified that Sunday was aware of the health problems that the accused faced.

Witness: In all the hospitals I went to everyone said he was self -destructive because he made suicide attempts and very serious … No one had said that he could be dangerous to others …

President: Was he hospitalized?

Witness: Yes in 2020 … Right when something happened to me on Sunday and I was running.

President: Was he in love with Sunday?

Witness: Too much. They had a dependency on each other. But the issues were such, it was such a suffering kid Sunday, I think it wasn’t the best for either of them.

President: Why did Sunday stay in the relationship?

Witness: He loved him. From the first moment I told her that my son has problems, to know it. Yes he tells me I know everything. I was asking her “are you sure?” “Yes we will overcome it all together” he said to me.

Chairman; Do you know her parents?

Witness: No. Sunday told me she had nothing to do with her father. With her mother at first she had no relationships, in the process they became a bit better

Prosecutor: Finally why did she get to the spot and stab her?

Witness: I think after so many years of symptoms …

Prosecutor: Why didn’t she kill her in 2022 when you say she had a lover?

Witness: Because he is not a femaleist … 2023 was not at his best. He didn’t have his minds. He had completely escaped …

Prosecutor: As you say it is as if your son was normal and Sunday was deviant.

Witness: I don’t say that. They couldn’t be together. The girl did what she could. As soon as something happened, I was calling me and I was running straight when it took me.

Prosecutor: When his father kicked him out of Arta, two days before the murder, I came to you … I imagine …

Witness: Yes, Saturday night March 30 …. The next afternoon he tells me I want the car, I asked him what he wanted. To go on Sunday to talk. I told him have you split up and if he doesn’t accept you? Then I will leave. I didn’t give him the car, he took a taxi, I called on Sunday and he told me that my son was there. I went and got him because I thought he would do harm to himself. That was crying. He was telling me “I was trying to talk to her, why did you come to get me, isn’t this the first time we split up”?

Prosecutor: So up there it was fine in mind

Witness: No crying and suffering

Prosecutor: So it’s psychologically in bad condition …

Witness: He told me he told him he loved him, I got her., I told her “what did you do for so many hours, he pushed you”? It tells me “not all okay, hope you understand that we’re not together”

Prosecutor: On the day of the murder, what is happening

Witness: Wake up in the afternoon. We went out, we told him to do well, to leave her quiet …

Prosecutor: So was he burdened because of separation?

Witness: That was it. His brother took him home. At 21.15 I called him, he was in a black mess. When I went home (in after the murder) I found a 1.5 liter bottle of wine and some boxes of pills …

The testimony of the witness has been interrupted and will continue next Thursday.
