Two arrested in Greece for murder and robbery of psychologist

Greek police have arrested two foreign nationals, aged 20 and 24, in connection with the murder and robbery of a 59-year-old psychologist in the Argolida region. The arrests were made on August 2, 2026, in the Attica region following a coordinated police operation.

The suspects have confessed to the crime, admitting they killed the victim, stole his cash, mobile phone, and vehicle, and then abandoned the car. The victim had been reported missing by a relative on the evening of July 25, 2026.

According to the investigation, the two suspects met the victim on the evening of July 24, 2026. They got into his car and drove to a rural area in the municipality of Nafplieon, where they attacked him with a sharp object, causing fatal injuries. Afterward, they stole his belongings and his car, which was later found abandoned on a hill in their residential area.

The victim's body was discovered on August 2, 2026, in a remote agricultural location within the municipality of Nafplieon. A forensic pathologist and a team from the Criminological Research Office were dispatched to the scene. The investigation is ongoing, with the case file being handled by the Nafplio Crimes Division.

The arrests and confessions mark a significant breakthrough in the case, which initially began as a missing person report. The swift action by the police has brought the perpetrators to justice, although the motive appears to be robbery.
