One dead, two injured in fiery families feud in Athens suburb

Xinhua, August 5, 2016 Adjust font size:

A 35-year-old woman lost her life and two people were injured on Thursday in an unprecedented family feud in the Athens suburb of Koropi.

A 26-year-old woman killed her partner's ex-wife during a heated argument at the victim's home by attacking her with a knife, the police said. The 26-year-old woman was arrested.

A few hours later, her 41-year-old partner went to her father's home and opened fire with a shotgun, injuring him and his wife.

The 41-year-old man who had two children with each woman, was also arrested shortly afterwards in a police chase.

According to police sources, the man was in a state of shock, requesting to talk to the eldest of his four children, blaming the 26-year-old woman's parents for everything.

He had rushed his ex-wife to local hospital where she succumbed to her injuries. Endit
