Shortly before the completion of one year from the attack with vitriol that Ioanna had received at the entrance of her work in Kallithea, the 36-year-old defendant, confessed her act before the investigator. Sources say she asked for it “Sorry” for its act, while allegedly claiming to have attacked her, because he considered her responsible for her personal matter. Immediately after her supplementary apology, the accused was taken to prison, where held by 16 June. This is the first time the 36-year-old has apologized, as he had exercised his right to remain silent before the investigator last June.
Her apology
Defendant: I knew her from a friendly circle. We have known each other for several years.
Investigator: you accept the charge of attempted murder;
Defendant: I do not accept the accusation as stated in the indictment. I accept the crime of bodily harm. I have spent all the years of my adult life without delinquent behavior. This attitude of mine proved that my upbringing and the structure of my personality prevail.. By no means do I want to convey that I recommend for the mother to be inactive.. I sincerely regret the depths of my soul.
Investigator: Why did you want to harm her?;
Defendant: I developed a sick obsession with her. I considered her responsible for a very personal issue which was very important to me. It was the drop that overflowed the glass and made me see things from a different angle. I do not want to develop it further until the case reaches the court and all the truth is told. I would not want to misinterpret any of the above with speculation and fantastic scenarios about it. for now I stick to what I have said so far.
With this move I did not want to kill her. I never intended to kill her but to hurt and injure her.. I wish I could go back in time, none of this had happened to anyone. I am very sorry for this result. That is why I take full responsibility for this act. I will be punished and I will be well punished.
Investigator: Since you wanted to cause her bodily harm because you chose sulfuric acid in this large amount.
Defendant: It was not a large amount. It was a regular glass. I did not know that such a great deal of damage would be done. That if she had inhaled the vitriol through her nose or mouth, either her lungs or her esophagus would have been destroyed, resulting in her death, and that if she had not rinsed the acid immediately, she would have died of bleeding..
I did not know any of this. I did not know that this liquid would cause such damage I knew that I would cause some trauma I did not intend to aim at the face The posture of the body proved that I was sideways and not face to face . I did not know that I would do so much damage.
I did not know that viscous fluid causes more damage, I'm not a chemist did not know it existed in a more dilute form.
Investigator: Where did you get the vitriol from?;
Defendant : for the act of finding and supplying the caustic material I am solely responsible and no one else. I do not want to answer where I got it from .
Investigator: you tried to contact her even by phone or through your lawyer to apologize to the victim
Defendant: through my lawyer he contacted her lawyers himself and expressed his sympathy and wishes for a speedy recovery. Today, when I am before you again, I express my regret and my apology. If of course it is accepted.
For the reports and the attempt of the civil suit to present false facts as true and specifically that I allegedly had in my possession a plan of the hospital where she is being treated and that I talked to a friend of hers in order to extract information to attack her again in the hospital, I deny it categorically. These are atopic and unfounded accusations. This is proved by the fact that there is no evidence against me in the case file.. I appear before you devastated, after 10 months. I am 36 years with a white criminal record in no case and in exchange would not erase an honest path to date. All people deserve a fair trial and a second chance at life.
