Police authorities are examining frame-by-frame video footage that captured the 45-year-old woman’s final moments in Nea Smyrni. The 48-year-old man was waiting for Julieta outside the apartment building where she lived and then struck her and shot her in the head.
According to information from protothema.gr, the video being examined by authorities shows the suspect waiting for the 45-year-old outside her home. As soon as the woman opened the front door, he followed her inside the building.

What followed unfolded in a matter of seconds, as shown in the video: Within about three to five seconds, the 48-year-old man allegedly kicked the 45-year-old woman once or twice, causing her to fall and end up on her knees on the floor. He then pointed the gun at her.

The 45-year-old woman, seeing the gun pointed at her, reacted instinctively and raised her hands toward the gun in an attempt to protect herself. This movement appears to have caused the 48-year-old to miss with the first shot. Immediately afterward, according to the video being examined by authorities, the perpetrator dragged her about one meter away with his hands and shot her again in the head, causing the woman to die.
After murdering the 45-year-old woman, the 48-year-old turned the revolver on himself and committed suicide. The weapon he used, according to reports, was in his illegal possession.
“I broke up with him because he was jealous of me”
According to reports, the 45-year-old woman had spoken to her sister about her relationship with a man, telling her that she had decided to break up with him because of his jealousy. She also reportedly confided in her that he continued to be persistent and that she was afraid.
On the night of the murder, the woman was home alone. Her daughter was not in Athens, as she had gone to Agrinio with her uncle.
The 1,000 euros he left for his wife
Meanwhile, details have emerged regarding the 48-year-old’s movements before he arrived in Nea Smyrni. Before leaving his home, he left his wife 1,000 euros and told her, “Keep this so you have some money.”
His wife told authorities that over the past 18 months or so, she had noticed a change in his behavior. As she reportedly said, the 48-year-old was often away from home, and on some nights he slept elsewhere, without her knowing where he was or whether he was involved with another woman. She also reportedly told the police that she was afraid of him.
Findings at the 48-year-old’s home in Tavros
Meanwhile, electronic devices, documents, and any other evidence that could assist the authorities’ investigation have been placed at the disposal of the police following a search they conducted at the 48-year-old’s home in Tavros. Authorities believe that these items may contain evidence regarding the planning of the attack, as well as the 48-year-old’s most recent communications with the 45-year-old woman. Of particular importance to the investigation are the cell phones and online activities of the two individuals, as they can help reconstruct the 48-year-old’s final movements before he traveled to Nea Smyrna.
The 48-year-old’s social media accounts are also under close scrutiny by authorities. The suspect had posted photos in which he posed holding weapons, and police are examining whether the revolver used in the crime matches any of those shown in the photos.
