Syros: Mystery surrounds 41-year-old woman fatally stabbed in the back

The investigation continues into the death of a 41-year-old woman, who worked as an emergency medical responder for Greece’s National Emergency Aid Center (EKAB) in Athens. She died after suffering a stab wound to the back during an altercation that took place on Tuesday afternoon in Ano Syros.

A man and a woman have been arrested in connection with the case. They are alleged to have been involved in the incident and claim they acted in self-defense.

According to information available so far, the 41-year-old went to a residence in Ano Syros, where, for reasons that remain unclear, a violent confrontation broke out with the couple living in the house. During the incident, she was allegedly stabbed in the back with a sharp object by the male resident.

Despite her severe injury, the woman managed to leave the scene and walk a short distance before collapsing. She was then transported by an EKAB ambulance to Syros General Hospital, where doctors confirmed her death.

The exact circumstances that led to the altercation remain unclear, and authorities are investigating all possible scenarios. According to reports, the couple claims that the 41-year-old entered their home and attacked them while holding a knife, prompting them to respond in self-defense.

However, these claims are still under investigation. Police are working to determine whether the woman was in fact carrying a knife, whether such a weapon has been recovered, and whether there are eyewitnesses or other evidence that could clarify the circumstances of the incident.

The preliminary investigation is ongoing, and authorities are expected to further assess witness statements and forensic evidence to establish exactly what happened and whether the claim of lawful self-defense is supported by the evidence.
