ATHENS, Greece — Greek authorities on Tuesday ordered an urgent investigation into a woman’s fatal stabbing outside an Athens police precinct where she had just requested protection from an ex-boyfriend.
The minister in charge of the police, Michalis Chrisochoidis, promised a “full, in-depth” investigation of Monday’s killing that occurred a few dozen yards from the Aghii Anargyri police station. “What matters now is to fully investigate the incident … and see what the police did or didn’t do,” Chrisochoidis told state ERT television. “This must be done in a very few days, hours even.”
The statement said she made the call on her way out of the precinct. But “while she was talking to a police operator she was suddenly attacked by her former partner, who fatally injured her with a knife.”“The murder ... yet another femicide, shakes and angers us,” she said in a statement. “It shows ... the urgent responsibility authorities have to fight gender-based violence and crime.”
