Alikianos

A 72-year-old priest in Crete is to be charged with the murder of a 75-year-old woman, who disappeared while walking in her own village two years ago.

The woman, Saniko Tsaoussi, was last seen in the village of Alikianos, in Hania regional unit, on September 23, 2022.

She subsequently disappeared without a trace.

Heavy rainfall wreaked damage across much of the country on Wednesday, particularly in western Greece and on Crete, where a makeshift road linking the port of Hania to the village of Alikianos collapsed. On Corfu, a downpour led to roads flooding, with the fire service receiving dozens of calls to clear fallen trees and pump out flooded stores and homes.
