An ensuing domestic dispute on Friday subsequently turned into a bloody crime scene when the alleged perpetrator used a chainsaw he had purchased several days ago to slash at the victim's limbs. The suspect waved down a police patrol car later on Friday evening and informed police officers that he had severely injured his wife. The man was accompanied to Kalamata, a port city in southwestern Peloponnese, by the couple's two children, 9 and 11. The children had reportedly arrived in Greece from Albania recently to visit their mother. The victim was airlifted to a specialized Athens hospital via military transport late Friday. The Messinia prefecture arranged for the temporary hosting of the couple's children as well as psychological support.
