Naval officer arrested for arson attacks on ex-partners in Glyfada

Early on Friday, October 30, a 46-year-old officer serving in the Hellenic Navy carried out two arson attacks against his former partners within a 15-minute window in Glyfada. According to reports, the suspect arrived at the apartment of one former partner at approximately 02:20, where he allegedly used a flammable liquid from a canister to start a fire.

Following the first incident, the perpetrator traveled to a second location at 02:35. There, he set fire to the vehicles belonging to another former partner, a 55-year-old woman, and her current 51-year-old male partner. Authorities have confirmed that the suspect has a prior record involving domestic violence cases. The investigation into the sequence of events is currently ongoing as law enforcement officials gather further evidence to determine the full extent of the damages and legal charges.

This incident has raised concerns regarding repeat domestic violence offenses, as the suspect was previously known to police for similar behavior. As the investigation progresses, the Greek authorities are expected to proceed with formal legal actions against the officer, whose career in the navy now faces significant scrutiny alongside the criminal proceedings.
