A shocking domestic violence incident has unfolded in Drama, where a female police officer is fighting for her life after allegedly being attacked by her husband, also a police officer, inside their home. The man was found dead shortly afterward inside his vehicle in the Korylovos area.

The incident came to light when the couple’s child called emergency services and reported that their mother was injured in the basement of the house. The woman was found seriously wounded, apparently stabbed with a knife, but alive, and was immediately transported to hospital.

A short time later, a passerby alerted authorities after finding the man with a gunshot wound inside his car. Authorities are investigating the exact circumstances of the incident, while shocked colleagues and neighbors describe a couple that had never given cause for concern.
