Prime minister rejects criticism of minister over police station murder

Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis on Thursday rejected calls for Citizen Protection Minister Michalis Chrysochoidis to take responsibility for the murder of 28-year-old Kyriaki Griva by her abusive ex-partner outside an Athens police station just moments after she had sought help from the authorities.

Far-right pundits persistently raise the question: What would have ensued if the police officer stationed at the Agioi Anargyroi police station had intervened with his firearm to halt the man who murdered his ex-partner? Let us address their inquiry.

Protocols not followed in woman’s murder

The commander of the Agioi Anargyroi Police Department in northern Athens that received a complaint by a woman who was being threatened by her former partner and subsequently murdered on Monday night, and the 100 emergency dispatch operator whom she called asking for a police escort to her home were both suspended on Wednesday.

Prosecutor to investigate police officers’ dealings with murdered woman

A prosecutor has ordered a preliminary investigation to establish whether the officers on duty at the police precinct outside of which a 28-year-old woman was murdered by her ex-partner bear any responsibility for the incident or whether there was any breach of duty.
