A 44-year-old man has been arrested in Aetoloacarnania for the murder of the 51-year-old president of the Lithovouni community. The perpetrator reportedly confessed to the crime, which is attributed to a love triangle, and claims he feared the victim would kill him first. The victim was found inside his car with a hunting rifle, which had not been used. The victim's wife, in shock, has left the village with her child, while residents express fears of retaliation. The two men had a long-standing friendly relationship and worked together, while the victim's wife had left home shortly before Easter, with rumors of a relationship with the perpetrator.
