A shocking incident of domestic violence has come to light in Chania, Greece, where a 39-year-old woman alleges she was brutally assaulted by her partner and his mother. The disturbing event reportedly unfolded in a hotel room in the Kamisianรก area, with the couple's two young children present.

Hotel employees alerted authorities after hearing a commotion from the room. Upon entering, they found the woman with visible injuries to her face. She told police that the confrontation began when the partner's 54-year-old mother verbally abused her and then pulled her hair, striking her in the face. The assault escalated when her 31-year-old partner also punched her in the face, according to her statement.

The presence of the two children, a 9-year-old from a previous relationship and a 3-year-old with the current partner, adds a particularly distressing layer to the alleged abuse. All parties involved were taken to the domestic violence unit. While the victim reportedly stated she did not wish to press charges against her partner or his mother, an forensic examination has been ordered due to the severity of her injuries.
