A 39-year-old man has been arrested regarding the death of his pregnant girlfriend, a 31-year-old woman, whose body was discovered in her home in Kolonos, Athens. The arrest follows initial questioning where the suspect claimed her death was accidental, stating that she slipped and fell down the stairs, resulting in fatal injuries. However, the circumstances surrounding her death are under further investigation by authorities.

Findings from the autopsy indicate that the head injury observed on the decedent does not align with his version of events about a fall, as there was also evidence of bruising. This has raised suspicions regarding foul play, prompting a thorough examination of the scene and the gathering of additional evidence to establish the actual cause of death, which will be determined at a later stage.

The accused is expected to appear before a prosecutor tomorrow, as the investigations are ongoing. This case sheds light on the growing concern over domestic violence and the protection of women in Greece, especially regarding pregnant women, and highlights the need for enhanced legal measures and support systems for victims in similar predicaments.
