An unbelievable murder for a camcorder…
Killed while taking his wife to give birth!
According to information so far, a camera is the reason why strangers killed a 40yo Greek while he was on his way to bring his car around and take his wife to the maternity clinic to give birth to their second child. The incident occurred at 5am on 57 of 3rd Septemvriou str, in the centre of Athens.
As the police made known, the 44yo exited his house on Ipirou str and was on his way to a parking on Ioulianou str, when he was attacked by three people. The perpetrators stabbed him with a knife at least three times in the back, hands and neck while he tried to resist and escape. They grabbed his camera and disappeared.
His wife and mother-in-law, who were waiting for him in their apartment, went down to the street to wait for him and found him dead.
The two women suffered a strong shock while neighbors called for an ambulance, which took the man to a hospital where his death was ascertained.
According to the information gathered by police, the perpetrators were three swarthy individuals, possibly foreigners. An investigation is under way for their localization and arrest.

Greek father murdered as he takes wife to maternity hospital
ATHENS - An Athens man was killed Tuesday for his video camera as he prepared to take his pregnant wife to the maternity hospital, prompting a spontaneous protest for better police protection.
Three assailants stabbed the 44-year-old in an early morning attack as he was getting into his car in the Patission area, police said.
The men, whom witnesses described as foreigners, grabbed the video camera he was carrying to film the birth of his second child.
The murder has reignited claims that police are failing to prevent some parts of Athens from being overrun by drug addicts, prostitutes, illegal immigrants and right-wing extremists.
Locals staged a demonstration at the scene of the crime on Monday afternoon calling for better police protection.
The minister in charge of police expressed his "revulsion" over the murder, but defended the work of the police while calling for a mobilization of "the entire country" and the city against the problem.
