FULL TEXT: Kalambaka, Greece - A woman released after
serving four years for murdering her son with an ax has been arrested for using
an ax to kill again - this time, police say, hacking her husband to death in a
pig sty. Police said Sotiria Loutriotis, 61, was arrested Friday for the
killing of 68-year-old Giorgos Loutriotis on their farm just outside this
central town 220 miles north of Athens. She was jailed under guard at a
psychiatric facility. Police said they will file murder charges after she undergoes
a psychiatric evaluation.
Mrs. Loutriotis had walked to a nearby farm and told
her neighbors she killed her husband at dawn as he was feeding the livestock,
police said. They found her husband’s remains in one of the sties. Mrs.
Loutriotis had received a life sentence after being convicted of using an ax to
kill her son, Dimitris Loutriotis, 29.
She was released eight months ago from a
prison psychiatric ward. Police said they did not know why prison authorities
released her so early. Her other son, Christos Loutriotis, died in a traffic
accident on the way to his brother’s funeral.
