Four officers to stand trial in woman’s murder outside police station

Four police officers are set to face trial for their alleged failure to protect a woman who was murdered by her ex-partner outside an Athens police station on April 1, 2024. The judicial council has determined that the officers' omissions contributed to the fatal outcome, citing their legal obligations to intervene. The victims, Kyriaki Griva, 28, had reported her ex-partner for stalking and requested police assistance before being stabbed to death. The accused officers include the station's acting supervisor, the duty officer, a guard who failed to intervene, and an emergency dispatch operator who allegedly downplayed the situation. Each defendant is accused of neglecting their duties, leaving the victim vulnerable. The suspect, Athanassios Kourelis, received a life sentence plus five years in prison in July 2025.
