Suspect's alleged plan to stage robbery after Leventaki murder revealed

Shocking details are emerging about the murder of Stavroula Leventaki, with new case file evidence outlining the alleged plan by the accused to mislead authorities and divert suspicion from himself. The 43-year-old suspect, now imprisoned, reportedly stayed with the victim's body for hours, meticulously planning his next moves. His actions, as described in his confession, aimed to erase his tracks and convince investigators that Leventaki was a victim of robbery, not murder.

The accused admitted to taking Leventaki's two bank cards, making withdrawals, and then giving them to acquaintances to continue transactions. He claimed this was intended to bolster the robbery scenario and distance him from her death. "The PIN was written on one card. I went to the ATM at the KEP in Mournion and entered the code. It was the correct code, I withdrew 1,000 euros and returned home. I didn't see how much money Stavroula had in her account. I did this because I wanted it to look like a robbery and not to be connected to her death. From there, I went straight home and left the money and cards on the TV stand in the living room," he stated in his confession.

From there, I went straight home and left the money and cards on the TV stand in the living room.

The suspect, who appeared "remorseful" before judicial authorities, detailed in his eight-page confession how he cleaned the scene after the murder, which he claimed was committed in a fit of rage. He moved objects and attempted to eliminate any incriminating evidence. "I used a mop, bleach, and a dustpan with a broom, and each time I changed the water, throwing it in the shower using bleach and air freshener. Then, using an identical black bag, I started putting in the log I hit Stavroula on the head with, the glasses from the broken bottle, the bags she was holding when she came to my house, my pants, and a shirt I was wearing," he added.

Authorities are thoroughly examining Leventaki's bank accounts. By lifting her bank secrecy, they aim to map out every financial transaction before and after the murder to identify critical elements of the case. According to the forensic report, the fatal blow was caused by a heavy wooden log, while the two stab wounds found on her body were post-mortem and superficial. This detail, authorities believe, is particularly significant as it does not align with the narrative initially provided by the 43-year-old.
