Greece: Man Arrested for Murdering Father, 12 Years After Killing Mother

A 46-year-old man was arrested in Glyfada, Greece, for the murder of his 80-year-old father with a knife. This crime comes 12 years after the man murdered his mother in the same manner. The man had been released from prison in 2018 with restrictions, including residing at his father's home and regularly appearing at the police station, which he seemingly complied with. During his arrest, the perpetrator allegedly stated he would kill his siblings as well. Neighbors reported knowing about the man's history and expecting something bad to happen. The fact that the man was free despite his violent past raises questions about the effectiveness of the measures taken.
