Greek father murdered by illegal immigrants as he takes wife to maternity hospital

[Turkophagos]

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.

Say what you want about Greeks, but at least many have the balls to stand up against and protest immigrants who bring their crime and backwards cultures to Europe . That can't really be said about the majority of European countries right now.

[Beorn]

That can't really be said about the majority of European countries right now.

In 'the West' we are too self obsessed.
The nation comes too far down the line of priorities. It's why you will always see threads here questioning who is the oldest ethnicity, when the oldest already know it and just get on with it and deal with the problems at hand.

Personally, I have always advocated special treatment for the Greeks. They, after all, created Western civilisation. There are only 11 million of them, it's not going to bankrupt us. We owe them something. No one else though.

[Osweo]

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.

Aye. That terrible sort of people who.. er... don't go round stabbing Greeks for trinkets. God forbid these foul swines carry on with their crimes of ... um... saying the 'wrong' thing and disagreeing with government .. dereliction of duty. :suomut:


Have we any idea what kind of scum did this, from knowledge of the demographics of the area?

Afghans or Maghrebis, the last scums we got here.

Athens center about to reach its "boiling point"

ension prevails, currently, in Epiru street near the point where the 44 year-old man was stabbed on Tuesday morning.

Shortly before 19:30, members of right-wing organizations attacked a passing immigrant and beat him savagely.

Earlier, hundreds of people held a protest march on 3rd September and Epiru streets, complaining about the high crime rate.

I was at the protests, for the first time there were people there from every side of the city. There's gonna be a lot of action from now on.

Yes indeed, I'm certain this last group has declared open season on the lives and possessions of regular Greeks. :rolleyes:

[Wanderlust]

I was walking in Patision Avenue 3 months ago at 14.00' and I was shaken to the core by what I've seen and specially by the way they were staring at me.
The place is full of black prostitutes,Pakistanis and Afghanis.The only Greeks that insist staying there are older Athenians sentimentaly attached to the area,poor young couples and anarchist students of National Technical University of Athens because the Uni is close but even an illegal/hungry/horny immigrant would think twice before messing up with any of them.

It's so tragic because he didn't even have the chance to meet his child and a shame as well because the area has some very beautiful buildings and used to be one the best.

Tribuno,if Greece had more men like Alekos Papadopoulos things would be entirely different.He is much missed by many.Everything in Greece used to run like a swiss clock back in his days.

...times goes by...

[Falkata]

Everytime something like this happens the goverment reminds us how dangerous are the rightwing extremists.
We have thousands of ilegal immigrants from every single shithole of the world commiting crimes in our cities but the important thing is to not criminalize them because they are very sensitive and of course we must be careful with the skinheads because as we all know they can attack you in the next corner :rolleyes:

The man was holding a camera to film the happy arrival of the new born. However the fate had decided otherwise. A group of three people attacked him with a knife to steal the camera. They stabbed him to the back, to his hands and neck. He died within minutes.

According to neigbors the attackers were foreigners.

The sentiment began to boil in the area where a lot of foreigners, mostly illegal immigrants live. Members of an extreme right group gathered in the area and started to beat immigrants who were passing by. The group even tried to enter a building occupied by anarchists and police fired teargas to disperse the crowd. The incidents continued for some time. One man was arrested.

There is a lot of criticism against the Mayor of Athens and the Greek police for not guarding the area where there is a high rate of crime.

City murder fuels racial tension

Protesters rally at spot of fatal knifing, hours after a migrant is killed


Hundreds of protesters converged on Thursday at the spot on Triti Septemvriou Street near central Athens where a 44-year-old man was fatally stabbed on Tuesday but the gathering was quickly hijacked by far-rightists who appear convinced that immigrants were behind the attack.

Meanwhile police were investigating the fatal stabbing in the same area of a 21-year-old Bangladeshi man. Police said the man was stabbed early Thursday in a neighborhood with a large migrant population and burgeoning far-right presence but they did not say that the attack was racially motivated.

On Thursday afternoon, suspected members of extreme-right organizations chased groups of immigrants down side streets and threw Molotov cocktails at police officers when they arrived to disperse them. More than 12 people were injured in the clashes, according to police.

Far-rightists had also converged in the area on Tuesday, a few hours after the fatal stabbing of the 44-year-old man who had been preparing to take his pregnant wife to hospital when he was attacked by assailants who stole his video camera.

Although there has been no official announcement about the ethnic origin of the attackers, the protesters chanted anti-immigrant slogans such as “Foreigners out” and “Greece is for Greeks.”

In a written statement issued on Wednesday, Prime Minister George Papandreou condemned the murder of the 44-year-old and declared that measures would be heralded next week to improve safety for city dwellers. “We are determined to guarantee the safety of citizens and to take all the necessary measures,” the premier said.

Athens Mayor Giorgos Kaminis was more outspoken in comments made on Skai Television on Thursday, expressing his fear that Athens would soon resemble Beirut in the 1970s if immediate action is not taken to crack down on spiraling crime.

Police in despair, fearing extensive incidents

Athens a boiling cauldron!


After the latest dramatic incidents, with the murder of the 44yo father in 3rd Septemvriou and yesterday’s bloody events that left one protester fighting for his life, Athens is beginning to look like a boiling cauldron.

For two days now a crowd has been gathering at the site where Manolis Kantaris was killed and the atmosphere is very tense. Everybody is expressing their rage for the terrible crime and the chorus is the same for all: We are afraid to walk in our own city and they are driving us out of it…

A procession with candles and a memorial service in the memory of the 44yo father will be carried today at 4.30pm at the site of his murder.

These past few days, there have been violent incidents between far-right organizations and immigrants. On Tuesday afternoon, members of these organizations beat savagely on a foreigner while they attacked other immigrants who happened to pass by the murder site.

Today’s gathering will beguarded by police forces due to the fear of incidents, and authorities will be on high alert for new clashes between far-right group members and immigrants.

Last night, at the intersection of Stratigou Kalari and Konstantinidi, Kato Patissia, strangers knifed a man from Bangladesh to death. The motives of the murder have not been established, but according to police officers the possibility of a racist attack is being investigated, based on some evidence that the perpetrators were speaking Greek.

Meanwhile, tension is also prevailing due to yesterday’s serious incidents in downtown Athens and the brutal beating of protesters, especially of the 31yo who is fighting for his life. At 6pm today, the Coordinator of Primary Unions and many organizations of the Left are organizing a rally against the attacks of riot police during the protest strike at 6pm at Propylaea.

The main building of the University of Athens is under occupation by a group of anarchists who, according to information, will organize a demonstration sparked by the serious injury of the young man in yesterday’s GSEE protests. As organizers said to APE-MPE, the demonstration will probably take place during the afternoon, in protest against police violence, which resulted in the serious injury of the young man, who has been hospitalized in critical condition. In the courtyard of the University, members of the organizing committee of the occupiers are broadcasting music as a call to the passers-by.

:rolleyes:

lol at all these articles obsessing over the actions of "far right activists". Shocking they don't mention what Maniot told me about the anarchists, the ones who brought immigrants with them to use as puppets and to protest people in his neighbor hood being upset about his death.. you can't get much more pathetic and disgusting than that

[Agrippa]

Greeks are really troubled, economically, socially, politically and at the same time many Southern European countries get a similar amount of immigrants as the more Northern countries got, just even more scum-related often, in just a few years.

Hopefully the Greeks don't bow down to "political correctness" and the Neoliberal pressure, but stand up and set a signal to Europe and the world!

I'm sure they're going to have a great time from now on.

[Ibericus]

Their IQ is so high, they can kill a man for obtaining only 120 euros.
