Bosnian arrested in Bosnia for 2025 Paros murder

Greek authorities have apprehended a 34-year-old Bosnian national in Bosnia-Herzegovina for the brutal murder of a 44-year-old compatriot on the island of Paros last October. The suspect was located through Interpol's "red notice" system and has been handed over to Greek authorities.

The crime occurred on the evening of October 2, 2025, when the suspect allegedly went to the victim's residence in Naoussa, Paros. There, he inflicted 19 fatal stab wounds before fleeing the island and subsequently leaving Greece. Greek law enforcement identified the suspect, leading to the international manhunt.

Following an order from the Aegean Court of Appeals Prosecutor's Office, the suspect was extradited to Greece. He is expected to be brought before the Syros Court of First Instance. The investigation also involves two other Bosnian nationals who are accused of aiding the perpetrator, both in reaching the victim's home and in his escape from Paros.

The case highlights the international cooperation required to solve serious crimes, with Interpol playing a crucial role in locating and facilitating the arrest of the suspect abroad. The ongoing investigation aims to bring all involved parties to justice.
