15-Year Prison Sentence for Murder of Sri Lankan Domestic Helper in Thessaloniki
A 39-year-old man was sentenced to 15 years in prison by a Military Court in Thessaloniki for the murder of a 25-year-old Sri Lankan domestic worker. The court concluded that the motive was sexual in nature, though the defendant received a mitigating factor for his previous clean record. He is allowed to remain free under specific conditions, including a €30,000 bail, travel restrictions, and monthly check-ins with authorities. The court’s ruling is set to be reviewed, and a new investigation into potential cover-up actions by police has been initiated.
