Life Sentence for Woman Who Killed and Buried Partner in Pieria

A 34-year-old woman who murdered her 58-year-old partner in Leptokarya, Pieria, has been sentenced to life imprisonment by the Mixed Jury Court of Edessa. The woman had buried the victim's body in the yard of their home. The crime was committed in September 2024, but was revealed five months later when she indicated the burial site. During the trial, the convicted woman claimed she had no intention to kill, but the court found her guilty of intentional homicide in a calm state of mind, without recognizing any mitigating circumstances.
