A hidden home camera recorded a 41-year-old woman wearing a surgical mask, cap, and gloves as she allegedly poured a substance into food in her former husband’s kitchen in Peristeri, athensvoice.gr reported.
Secret Camera Catches Poisoning Attempt in Peristeri
The 41-year-old doctor installed the hidden camera after suspecting someone was tampering with his food. Footage reviewed by police shows the woman using an illegal key to enter the residence alone. She carefully avoided leaving fingerprints while allegedly contaminating everyday kitchen items such as salt, pepper, and honey with the liquid substance.
According to reporting by Vasilis Lampropoulos, administering atropine alone requires deliberate effort to conceal one’s tracks, even though the substance itself possesses specific clinical uses. The doctor monitored the break-in live on his mobile phone while away from the apartment.
Eight-Month Dispute Leads to Police Arrest
The suspect and her former husband share an eight-month history of bitter conflict following their separation after the birth of their child. The 41-year-old man works as a military doctor, while his ex-wife works as a medical visitor. Their initial split over parenting and personal issues escalated rapidly into legal battles.
At approximately 7:30 p.m. last Sunday, the doctor alerted local police after watching the live camera feed inside his home. He rushed back to the apartment, intercepted the woman as she exited the building, and chased her down to immobilize her until officers arrived.
Prior Incidents and Conflicting Claims
Investigators are examining whether this incident connects to a previous health scare. The doctor told authorities he fell violently ill months earlier during a restaurant meeting in the northern suburbs of Athens, where security footage allegedly showed the same woman pouring liquid into his meal from a small bottle.
The male victim spent two separate periods hospitalized with depressive symptoms, which he attributes to long-term, systematic poisoning by his ex-wife. The accused woman denies the allegations, claiming she entered the apartment solely out of concern to check whether her former husband had taken his prescribed medication.
