“That was a bad moment. They fought over a shirt. He is not a murderer,” he said of the 18-year-old
Greek society is shocked by the murderous fight between two brothers in Nea Smyrni, aged 18 and 16, on the occasion of a blouse. The mother of the 18-year-old, at whose expense criminal prosecution for manslaughter and use of a weapon was brought by the prosecutor, claims it was an accident.
“All that has been heard are false accusations, and those with iron fists. What happened was an accident. One of my children is dead and my other is at risk of prison. I ask the justice to be lenient, because my child is not a criminal. He is a child who needs help,” she initially said mother on Mega’s “Live News” show and emphasized:
“I’ve always been close to my kids and always caught up. This was a bad moment. They fought over a shirt. Nothing else happened, it was all an accident, no one is murderer».
The chronicle of fratricide
Around 19:30 on Tuesday night the two brothers started fighting over a piece of clothing.
At that time, their mother, the 18-year-old’s girlfriend and their grandmother, who tried to separate them, were at home.
As the situation got worse, they started punching and kicking each other. The 18-year-old then went into the bedroom and grabbed a pair of scissors, and moved towards his brother, chasing after him to pin him down. He tried to hide and went to the living room, also closing the intermediate door.
The 18-year-old opened it, went over to him and started stabbing him in the chest. The child was found in a pool of blood, and now the evil had happened. He was taken to the People’s Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
The Police went to the house at 20:45, where they found the scissors, with a red and black handle, which had blood on it.
