Newsit.gr publishes the full, eight-page confession of the 43-year-old foreign national who brutally murdered Stavroula Levendaki in Chania. In his statement, he recounts his life since arriving in Greece from Skopje with his family in 1996 — through his work in greenhouses in Kantanos’ Kountoura village, his marriage in 2013, and his eventual move to Varypetro, where he rented part — and later all — of Levendaki’s house.
A Chilling, Detailed Account
The suspect describes the fatal encounter on the afternoon of May 30 in graphic detail. According to his own account, he first struck Levendaki with a bottle, then stabbed her twice in the heart with a butcher’s knife, and finally delivered the fatal blow by hitting her on the head with a wooden log.
In a disturbingly detached manner, he recounts what followed: after the murder, he made a video call to his wife — who lives on Gavdos Island — then buried Levendaki’s body in a shallow pit in a nearby field, just meters from the bloodstained apartment. He then bought sweets and visited a friend.
Living Under One Roof
He explains that he and his family initially rented half the house — about 65 square meters — for €300 per month. The property was jointly owned by Levendaki and her brother, separated by a permanently locked central door. Around 2022, after Levendaki took full ownership — having evicted her brother — he began renting the entire house for €600 monthly, paid directly into her bank account.
His contact with her brother was minimal: once, when his car broke down, he asked for help repairing it — the brother declined but recommended another mechanic. That, he says, was their only interaction.
Constant Tension
Under the rental agreement, Levendaki visited the property every six months to inspect for damage — always after coordinating by phone with either him or his wife. He characterizes her as ‘hysterical’ and recalls repeated arguments, particularly over rust on kitchen cabinets — though he cuts off mid-sentence in the original text.
