Mother and son found slain in Athens apartment
Police in Athens are investigating the apparent murder of a mother and son whose bodies were found in their home in the eastern suburb of Ilioupoli on Wednesday night.
The 63-year-old woman and her 36-year-old son were discovered after police officers breached the front door to their apartment following a complaint from neighbors that they had not seen the pair for a week and that a strong, unpleasant odor was coming from their house.
Both had gunshot wounds to the head and a shotgun was found in the house, pointing to the possibility of murder-suicide.
Investigators are looking for the husband, who, according to information, owns a shotgun.
The firearm has been sent for examination.
