Two men, aged 52 and 50, have been arrested in Thessaloniki in connection with the murders of two women, aged 47 and 43, which took place in a building basement on different dates in 2024 and 2025. The investigation began following the disappearance of the 47-year-old, reported in February 2025, and expanded to include the disappearance of the 43-year-old, reported in July 2025. Traces and evidence were found at the scene, and the body of the 47-year-old was discovered in an advanced state of decomposition. The 52-year-old allegedly confessed to the death of the 47-year-old, claiming he disposed of her body in a trash can. A forensic examination is underway for the 43-year-old. Authorities believe the 47-year-old's death may have been caused by asphyxiation during sexual activity, with the involvement of the 50-year-old.
