The attack
The 41-year-old Garifallia was attacked on Sunday, October 3, on Iroon Polytechniou Street at the height of Terpsithea in Patras.
The 49-year-old punched and pushed her, causing the woman to fall to the ground and hit her head on a curb.
She was urgently transported by ambulance to the hospital, where due to the seriousness of her condition she was admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). From there he was transferred to the KAT where he was fighting to keep himself in the cage.
The man was arrested after he was identified and traced from video footage found by police.
Initially, the 49-year-old called the EMS on his own, claiming that he found his ex-partner, fallen, however, after an investigation, the police found that he was not telling the truth.
The 49-year-old has been remanded in custody on the charge of causing grievous bodily harm, following a unanimous decision by the investigator and the prosecutor.
However, after the tragic development with the unfortunate woman, the indictment against him is expected to change.
