According to reports, he had been hiding in a plot of land and was wearing clothes he had found in a garbage bin.

The 40-year-old Albanian who killed his wife in Volos was arrested this morning. Protothema writes that Pandeli Nakoleci was found on Evripidou Street, in the city center, about 200 meters from the house where the brutal crime took place.

He had been hiding in a field and was dressed in clothes picked from a trash container. He carried no mobile phone or any other belongings. At the moment of his arrest, he was heard shouting loudly that his wife was cheating on him.

“A while ago, police were notified by a citizen that someone was hiding in this field, and shortly after we heard voices and went outside. We saw them arrest the man in question, without resistance,” an eyewitness stated.

The murder in Volos

The 40-year-old Albanian, Pandeli Nakoleci, murdered his 36-year-old wife, Marjola Nakoleci, in Volos, Greece. After the shocking event, the perpetrator fled, while the murder occurred in the building where they lived, on Konstanta Street. The couple’s argument began in their apartment, then moved to the building entrance, where he stabbed his wife in the neck and back.

The crime happened in front of one of their four children, while the others were inside the apartment. Their 16-year-old daughter told police she saw her father stabbing her mother. Greek media also reported that the victim died of blood loss, with the fatal injury possibly caused either by a knife or from being struck against a glass window.

Pandeli Nakoleci had previously been accused of involvement in a criminal organization and drug law violations. At the end of June 2025, he had been transferred by order of the prosecutor to a psychiatric clinic for examination, where he remained hospitalized for treatment.
