Greek Court Orders Three-Year Mental Health Hospitalization for Man Who Killed Mother
A Thessaloniki court has mandated a three-year hospital stay for a 31-year-old man who killed his 60-year-old mother in December 2022. The decision was based on psychiatric evaluations indicating he suffers from schizophrenia and was not aware of his actions. During the court proceedings, the defendant was absent, with testimony from his uncle highlighting improvements in his mental health due to medication. The tragic incident followed a heated argument between the mother and son, and a sharp object was identified as the murder weapon.
