A double homicide in Aigio — where a 50-year-old woman and her 26-year-old son were found dead — has evolved into a complex investigative thriller. The primary suspect remains the woman’s 65-year-old Italian partner, against whom prosecutors have filed charges of premeditated murder committed in a single act.
Forensic Evidence Raises Questions
Despite the formal charges, investigators face significant challenges in fully clarifying what happened. According to reports by newsit.gr, no DNA or fingerprint evidence belonging to the 65-year-old suspect has been identified on any of the physical evidence collected from the crime scene and subjected to forensic analysis.
Instead, genetic material recovered from under the woman’s fingernails belonged exclusively to her son. Meanwhile, DNA found on the firearm allegedly used to shoot the young man matched that of his mother, the victim himself — and a third, unidentified individual. Crucially, this third person’s DNA does not match the Italian suspect.
Unanswered Questions Persist
Further complicating the case is the absence of blood traces anywhere else in the residence beyond the bedroom where both victims were discovered — each with stab wounds inflicted by a sharp object.
Investigators are now focusing closely on several unresolved issues: why the 26-year-old had returned to his family home in Longos, Aigio; whether his visit was routine or linked to an urgent family matter; and the credibility of the suspect’s claims about pre-existing mental health issues within the household.
Authorities are cross-referencing witness statements from relatives and close acquaintances of the deceased young man with laboratory findings, hoping these will shed more light on the sequence of events — and potentially yield new leads in the ongoing investigation.
