A prosecutor has recommended the conviction of a 39-year-old soldier accused of murdering a 25-year-old Sri Lankan domestic worker, whose body was found in a pool in Thessaloniki in February 2013. The prosecutor argues that the defendant strangled the victim and staged the scene to resemble an accidental drowning, motivated by an alleged sexual advance. Serious lapses in the police investigation were noted, particularly regarding evidence handling. The trial will continue next week with further arguments from both sides as the case unfolds.
