On the night of Tuesday, July 21, 2026, a 28-year-old man violently assaulted his 37-year-old former partner at her residence in Kallithea. The victim, who was five months pregnant, suffered severe injuries after being repeatedly kicked and punched, including a targeted strike to her abdomen with the assailant's knee.

Following the attack, the woman was rushed to Attikon Hospital, where doctors performed an emergency cesarean section. Despite medical intervention, the fetus did not survive.
