A 34-year-old man from Thessaloniki has been charged with attempted murder after a brutal incident involving his 38-year-old girlfriend, who is currently in intensive care. The man was brought before a judge after being accused of violently beating his girlfriend for approximately eight hours, during which he reportedly used both his bare hands and various objects. The incident was said to have been triggered by a jealous confrontation between the two.

During the interrogation, the man denied having murderous intent, stating, 'I hit her but not with the intention to kill.' He claimed that the situation escalated due to jealousy and admitted to having consumed pills during the altercation. The severity of the situation prompted both the investigating judge and the prosecutor to unanimously decide on his temporary detention, leading to his immediate incarceration.

The incident reportedly took place in the presence of minor children, which adds a disturbing layer to the story. Authorities are likely to scrutinize the family's circumstances closely, both to ensure the safety of the children involved and to prevent future incidents of domestic violence. This case highlights the ongoing issue of domestic abuse in Greece and the urgent need for protective measures for victims.
