Athens: The murder of a 92-year-old in 2017 has been solved

A 33-year-old woman has been arrested in Athens for the murder and robbery of a 92-year-old man in August 2017, as well as for a separate theft incident involving a 59-year-old man in 2023.

Greek authorities have arrested a 33-year-old woman in connection with the murder of a 92-year-old man in Athens in August 2017. The victim's body was discovered in his apartment, and investigators found a knife and significant forensic evidence at the scene. This case had remained unsolved until recently, showcasing the efforts of law enforcement to resolve cold cases.

In a related incident, the woman was also implicated in a separate robbery that occurred in November 2023, where she allegedly stole three gold bars worth €130,000 from her employer, a 59-year-old man. The man's report to the police led to the investigation, which ultimately connected the suspect to both crimes.
