Former wife of Polish professor murdered in Agia Paraskevi commits suicide in prison

The 43-year-old former wife of the Polish professor, who had been remanded as the mastermind behind his murder, took her own life in prison.

The woman committed suicide at Korydallos Prison. She had been held in custody for the brutal crime that shocked Agia Paraskevi in July 2025.

According to sources, the 43-year-old was found by fellow inmates in the prison bathroom, having hanged herself with a makeshift noose made from a bedsheet.

She left a note addressed to her lawyer and her children, explaining the reasons for her actions.

The preliminary investigation into the incident is being handled by the Korydallos Police Department.

It is recalled that she had been imprisoned on the serious charge of being an instigator, as authorities identified her as the “brain” behind the murderous attack.

For the same case, her 35-year-old current partner, accused of being the actual perpetrator who carried out the killing, as well as three other alleged accomplices—including a 16-year-old—had also been remanded.

The Murder Plot

The plot appears to have originated after a court decision she lost, which granted the professor the right to take the couple’s two children abroad.

From then on, the former wife allegedly discussed with her partner ways to resolve the matter, fearing she would never see her children again if they went abroad. In addition, a dispute over financial matters from two companies they had jointly established in the U.S. while they were together also existed between them.

She denies the charges, unlike the others who reportedly confessed and described their roles to police, though authorities have evidence implicating her.

Regarding the execution of the Polish professor, her 35-year-old partner reportedly contacted a Bulgarian in Nafplio to intimidate or assault the former husband. The Bulgarian refused, but he was then put in touch with two Albanians.

The latter also refused to assault the victim but agreed to help with transportation, escape, and creating an alibi. They stated that the 35-year-old told them his partner would pay, and they received 1,500–2,000 euros.

Video Evidence Before the Murder: First Ambush at the Child Psychologist

The two transported the perpetrator by car from Nafplio to Athens, with him aware of the appointment his partner had with the victim. Initially, they went to Chaidari, where the professor met with his ex-wife and children at a child psychologist to find a mutually acceptable solution.

The perpetrator intended to kill him there but failed, so he staged a second ambush on Eirinis Street in Agia Paraskevi, where the professor would go at noon to pick up his children. There, he intercepted and shot him execution-style.

After being dropped off in Agia Paraskevi by the Albanian accomplices, the 35-year-old walked away and, at the first alley toward the Agia Paraskevi square, reportedly disposed of the Tokarev-type firearm he had acquired in Omonia and the jacket he was wearing in a trash bin.

He then took a bus to the city center, transferred to another bus to Chaidari, and from there took a taxi back to Nafplio to establish an alibi. Meanwhile, he had left his phone with the Bulgarian accomplice in Nafplio to make the alibi more convincing, claiming he was outside Athens when police checked.

Police identified the rented car used by the Albanian accomplices via cameras and subsequently tracked them.

When they realized what had happened—that the professor had been killed—they began to extort him for 40,000–50,000 euros to remain silent, claiming the instigator had agreed to pay but did not have the chance.

Additionally, phone-tap evidence revealed conversations about the crime between the former wife and her partner, mediated by the perpetrator’s underage son, who had been given a mobile phone to relay messages between the two without knowing what had occurred.
