Death of Woman Accused in Polish Professor Murder Becomes Prison Mystery

The death of a woman accused of murdering a Polish professor in Greece has become a perplexing case, as her family and lawyer strongly dispute the official narrative of suicide. The suspect was found dead in her cell at Korydallos prison in July 2025, sparking an investigation into the circumstances surrounding her demise.

The death of the woman accused of murdering the Polish professor is turning into a thriller, as her family and lawyer raise serious questions about the circumstances of her death in Korydallos prison and declare they are determined to see the case through to the end, openly questioning the possibility of suicide.

Initial reports suggested the woman might have taken her own life following a court decision related to her case. However, her lawyer, Alexandros Pasiatas, refutes this, stating that no indictment referring her to trial had been issued. He argued that a decision to extend her pre-trial detention, while significant, would not typically lead to the extreme psychological collapse attributed to her.

Further complicating the narrative, the woman was not alone in her cell; she shared it with eight other inmates. Her lawyer also categorically denied reports of a suicide note addressed to her children. He explained that a notebook found contained personal notes, case details she wanted investigated, and observations about her health, not a farewell message.

According to her lawyer, Alexandros Pasiatas, these elements do not correspond to reality.

Pasiatas emphasized that his client was actively preparing for her trial and was determined to prove her innocence, maintaining daily contact with him. He found it contradictory that she would suddenly end her life when she was fighting to have her side of the story heard in court. The other inmates discovered her having hanged herself in the communal bathrooms using a makeshift noose made from a bedsheet and towel.

He argues that only a decision to extend her pre-trial detention had been issued, a fact that – as he points out – does not justify the psychological collapse attributed to the detainee.

As the results of forensic and toxicological examinations are pending, the family is demanding a thorough investigation. They insist that unanswered questions remain, preventing any definitive conclusions about the true cause of her death. The case continues to be a subject of intense scrutiny and doubt.

He also categorically denies reports about the existence of a 'suicide note' to her children.
