GUILTY Greece - Dr. Suzanne Eaton, 60, American, gone for a run, Crete, 2 Jul 2019 *ARREST* #2

[Patrick Jane]

From a local Cretan news source:

Οι πτυχές της προσωπικότητας του δράστη σύμφωνα με τη Realnews, ο οποίος επανειλημμένως είχε δηλώσει ότι «κάποιες δυνάμεις σκοτεινές με κυρίευαν και δεν καταλάβαινα τι έκανα» αναμένεται να εξεταστούν από ειδικό ψυχίατρο, που θα ορίσει τις επόμενες μέρες, ο ανακριτής.

According to Realnews (a Greek news source), the personality aspects of the perpetrator, who has repeatedly declared/stated that "some dark forces overcame me and I didn't understand what I was doing," (are) expected to be examined by a specialist psychiatrist, who will be selected by the examining judge in the next few days.

I hope this perp does not get off lightly by successfully employing an insanity defense. There is a difference between psychosis and psychopathy. I think this perp is a psychopath. And my concern here is that he's gaming the system, as psychopaths often do. MOO

There's plenty of evidence that he was completely rational in how he went about concealing his crime, so where I live, insanity wouldn't fly.

New details from his confession.

From google translation, some intriguing excerpts but I can't capture the real meaning of. It seems he confessed about his past hit attempts and also his apologies to the victims(?). He's now in Tripoli(?) prison where he met some prisioners from Chania...

Not sure if this article is also avaible in english from a different source. Still searching.

In MOO, this is totally indefensible. Death penalty is a separate debate, but heinous cases like this, perps like this, should make modern society seriously reflect about the leniency of actual maximum sentences.

Please, no more talk of 'rape culture.' It makes it sound like a cultural norm, when it is not. As for Yiannis' motivations, it's all Northern energy. His victims - a Pole, a Lithuanian, an American. Why? There's some deep Freudian repression going on here.

That was a local article I posted, which means it's unlikely to be available somewhere in English.

The Greek language poses a bit of a difficulty for computer-generated translation. If there's something you're confused about or a particular passage or something you need help translating, then I or one of the other Greek speakers can help you with the translation.

Thanks Patrick.

I confess this case petrified me. It is so so disturbing. Apart from the horrible and macabre, the fragile and fatal side of ramdomness. On that day, alone on that deserted coastal road, at that hour...but an occasional encounter?

I'm trying to know more about the past failing attempts. To understand if there was negligence from police in regards to the previous complaints. A bust in perp's confidence to repeat it in a well known area.
And if there was any preparation plan/previous observation to atract him to that specific and fateful local.

From direct google translation I was confused about the real meaning of some passages:

"I usually followed at a speed of 10km for a considerable distance. I was teasing them, scaring them, bothering them and some that I liked, hitting them right away. "

"I remember a stranger getting off the car and telling her I was abstract. I apologized to her. I offered to take her to the hospital. I just wanted to meet her."

"I've been teasing a lot of girls this way. Many times I went down to apologize. I wanted to get to know them."

A lot? All foreign women? All in Chania surroundings? Hit and apologize? In fact, how many complaints to the police? It seems quite amateur on both sides. And impunity at large.

He's the son of an Orthodox priest. The "dark forces overcame me" bit sounds like he's going for blaming it on something demonic.

If you look back in Thread #1 there was some discussion on what was reported in the media regarding the previous attempts. According to one media report which I posted earlier, there were at least two cases that were initially "closed" by the police as hit-and-run accidents. And apparently, the other incidents were never reported at all.

My translations below:

"I usually followed at a speed of 10km for a considerable distance. I was teasing them, scaring them, bothering them and some that I liked, hitting them right away. "

«συνήθως ακολουθούσα με ταχύτητα 10 χλμ για αρκετή απόσταση. Τις πείραζα, τις φόβιζα, τις ενοχλούσα και κάποιες που μου άρεσαν, τις χτυπούσα κιόλας.»
"I usually followed at a speed of 10 kilometers (per hour) (6.21 miles/per hour) at a sufficient distance. I messed with them, I scared them, I bothered them, and some/certain ones that I liked, on top of all that, (I'd even) hit them."

"I remember a stranger getting off the car and telling her I was abstract. I apologized to her. I offered to take her to the hospital. I just wanted to meet her."

«Θυμάμαι πως σε μία ξένη κατέβηκα από το αυτοκίνητο και της είπα πως ήμουν αφηρημένος. Της ζήτησα συγγνώμη. Προσφέρθηκα να την πάω στο νοσοκομείο. Ήθελα απλά να γνωριστώ μαζί της».
"I remember how on (this particular occasion with) one foreigner (female): I got out of the car and I told her I had been preoccupied/absent-minded. I told her I was sorry. I offered to take her to the hospital. I simply wanted to meet her.

"I've been teasing a lot of girls this way. Many times I went down to apologize. I wanted to get to know them."

«Έχω πειράξει με αυτό τον τρόπο πολλές κοπέλες. Πολλές φορές κατέβαινα να ζητήσω συγγνώμη. Ήθελα να τις γνωρίσω.
"I've messed with many girls in this way/using this method. Many times I got out (of the car) to say I'm sorry. I wanted to meet them."

Σύμφωνα με πληροφορίες της Real News, στον σχετικό φάκελο που έχει ανοίξει στην Ασφάλεια Χανίων προστέθηκαν ακόμα τέσσερις επιθέσεις εναντίων γυναικών, ανεβάζοντας έτσι τον συνολικό αριθμό σε επτά, χωρίς να υπολογίζεται η δολοφονία της Σούζαν 'Ιτον.

According to information from Real News (a Greek media source), another four attacks against women have been added to the relevant (case) file (against the perp) that had been opened by the Xania Security/Police. This raises the total number (of attacks) to seven, not counting the murder of Suzanne Eaton.

Wow. Are these assault charges? Or something like attempted kidnapping?

It's just so sad that this psychopath wasn't stopped before he escalated. I hope everyone who knew something or saw something but didn't say anything now thinks deep and hard about this situation and the changes that need to happen.

Has Suzanne been brought home already?

@Patrick Jane there is an elderly British gentleman missing since June in Zante, Greece. If you are interested ..

The article didn't specify. It just stated that the police had added these attacks to his (case) file. But there was no mention as to what specific charges the prosecutor would be filing.

Five women have come forward to give evidence in an ongoing investigation into the activities of a 27-year-old man who has confessed to the rape and murder of American biologist Suzanne Eaton in Hania on the island of Crete on July 2.

Four of the women reportedly told police that Paraskakis had tried to run them down with his car but then sped off.

The fifth witness is said to have claimed that Paraskakis came across her while he was riding a bicycle and started making lewd and provocative comments. She apparently reported the incident to the police on May 31, just days before the Eaton murder.

One Greek woman and four foreign women. All of them were working on Crete but (apparently) they were not locals. The Greek woman is the cyclist who reported him to the police.

From "Greek City Times":

The inquest into the death of American biologist Suzanne Eaton in July 2019 on Crete, has concluded.

Yiannis Paraskakis, 27, who admitted to killing and rapping Suzanne will be standing trial, the Greek lawyers representing Eaton’s family said on Thursday.

According to the article, he claims to have been possessed by demons during the incident.

'He said he was possessed by demons giving him orders,' he said.
