Crete: Twist in Case of 28-Year-Old Allegedly Run Over by Husband; Woman Testifies

A 28-year-old mother of four, who was hospitalized for a serious and mysterious injury sustained on May 9th, has been discharged from PAGNH hospital. She had been found bleeding on the roadside near Pantanassa, Heraklion, while inside her husband's van.

Her husband was initially detained and charged with attempted murder. However, the woman's testimony to the Heraklion investigator on Thursday (June 4th) has potentially shifted the legal proceedings. According to cretalive.gr, she did not describe her injury as a malicious act, a statement that could significantly alter the case's direction.

The 30-year-old husband, in his defense, has denied all charges. He asserted that he committed no malicious act against his wife and expressed confidence that she would reveal the truth once she fully recovers.

In a pre-investigation statement, the 28-year-old's mother, and the husband's mother-in-law, recounted receiving a distressed call from her son-in-law around 6:20 PM on the day of the incident. He reportedly told her, "Gogo fell from the car, the door opened, and she hit her head."

Upon arriving at the scene, the mother found her daughter lying on the ground, several meters behind the van, with the passenger door open. Three of her four children were in the back seats. The husband was reportedly agitated, calling out, "Gogo, our children..." The mother observed blood on her daughter's head and placed a towel beneath it, hesitant to move her. The injured woman was conscious but, according to her mother, did not explain what happened, only stating she felt dizzy and had a headache.
