Orthodox Nuns Knifed to Death in Greece

[Crvena zvezda]

The fact that something as horrendous as this could have occurred in Greece (regardless of whether or not the perpetrators were Greek) demonstrates how greatly this nation has fallen as a direct result of the anti-Orthodox and anti-national puppet regime in power.

Convent nuns slain in beds

Two elderly nuns were killed in a convent near Astros, southern Greece, in what police suspect was an overnight robbery.

The Greek Orthodox nuns, both aged in their late 70s, were found dead in their beds on the first floor of the 17th century monastery with knife wounds.

Police said they suspected a robbery, as several doors at the convent had been forced open and the church had been broken into.

A church official confirmed that a number of valuable icons were kept in the monastery.

Up until late yesterday, nothing had been reported missing from the convent.

Remote monasteries are often the targets of thieves. A rare and valuable Byzantine icon was stolen from a cliff-side monastery last year but was recovered a month later.

It's sick. And you are right. The defamation and the persecution by the liberal-socialist governments against Christians is much to blame for these horrible events.

[Marcus Marulus]

A terrible event, only a sick mind can do this.

[Strengthandhonour]

What an act of absolute savagery. This type of acts are completely unnaceptable.

[Franze]

Sad, in my legendary trìp that someday I will do to Greece I want to visit orthodox monasteries, and this is sad. Somedays ago, a priest who helped homeless and immigrant people were killed by two romanian and a homeless spanish. Sad!!

There have also been increased break-ins into Orthodox churches lately, indicating that these types of anti-Orthodox phenomena are not isolated occurrences.

Church break-ins in wider Athens area

Three church break-ins in the wider Athens area were reported to have taken place in the early hours of Wednesday.

The robberies took place in churches in Nea Makri, Ilioupolis and Kallithea and in all instances the alms boxes were stolen.

In Kallithea, the alms box was abandoned in the church yard.

NUN MURDERS
Two suspected drug addicts sought in connection with double killing

Police are looking for two suspected drug addicts in connection with the alleged murder of two nuns at the Artocosta Monastery near Astros, northeastern Peloponnese, sources said yesterday. The nuns, aged 59 and 85, were found dead on Tuesday. Sources said that the two suspects lived in the area and sometimes assisted the nuns. The suspected addicts have been missing since Tuesday. A coroner was examining the bodies of the nuns yesterday. It is not clear if they were strangled or stabbed to death.

Nuns found dead in convent after break-in

Two elderly nuns were found dead in the Orthokostas Convent in Peloponnesos, southern Greece, on Tuesday morning.

The nunnery, situated in a mountainous region, showed signs of forced entry, and the two nuns are believed to have been the victims of a robbery.

The two nuns were victims of strangulation

The two elderly nuns found dead in the Orthokostas Convent in the Peloponnese, southern Greece, on Tuesday morning appeared to been killed by "suffocation due to strangulation", while there were also signs of a struggle at the scene of the crime, according to the initial finds of medical examiner Filippos Koutsaftis after his examination of the bodies at the scene.

A detailed autopsy will be conducted at the Athens Medical Examiner's Service, where the bodies have been taken.

The nunnery is guarded by police until the investigation is over.

Again.. a couple of years ago it happened in Spain too that a priest was killed by a Moroccan who he had been helping.

If someone killed a priest or a nun in Malta it would provoke a national outcry, although degeneracy is flooding in.

Speaking of clandestine migrants who turn against those that aid. This happened recently in one of Malta's open centres. The migrants turned against their carer, an Englishman who is teaching us how not to be racist supposedly. Perhaps he needs to read about his defunct Empire's attitude towards the Maltese.

What did they do to the English guy? ._.

News reports are saying that there are few clues, which seems strange if the culprits were drug-addicts. (After all, how likely would it be for drug-addicts to be so organized in such a violent crime as to leave no clues behind?) It's worth noting that there are theories floating around that the two nuns which made up the entire monastery were murdered because the monastery had coast property, and that by murdering the nuns the monastery would close, thereby allowing land developers to buy up the land and create a tourist destination. In other words, this might have been the result of an unholy union of capitalism and tourism.

Few clues

Two Greek Orthodox nuns found murdered this week inside a 400-year-old mountain nunnery in southern Greece were likely killed in a violent robbery, but a three-day investigation has found few clues, a local police officer said yesterday. “By all appearances, it was a common robbery that went awry,” a local police officer told AFP. The perpetrator or perpetrators made off with a small sum of money and icon offerings, but there is no evidence to confirm reports that a priceless 11th-century cross was also stolen, he added. Three days after the murders, no suspects have been named. (AFP)

Constructors and estate agencies have not reached those levels here. At least not that it is known of. But setting a trees area on fire to turn it into wasteland and later having it reclassified as fit for urban development (with the help of properly tipped corrupted local politicians) is nothing uncommon.

I, for one, would raze down to the ground any construction within the 100 m. reach from the coast line and which is not older than 90 years or which does not have an artistic or historical value.

What makes these holiday resorts even more wasteful of seafront land is that so many of the tourists don’t even like swimming in the ocean. They will hang around on the beach or perhaps swim in the pool but I’ve noticed many people on these cheap holidays are afraid of the ocean or don’t like salt water.

Something akin to beating him up if I recall correctly, or at least they attempted that.

Here beaches are nice in the in all seasons except summer. You can walk on the sand with your bare feet in beaches where there is no one else but you. But even that is becoming more unusual.

Package holidaymakers change their concrete world in the city for a concrete world in a sunny area. It's a strange mass phenomenon.

Seems Montenegro is the only exception, but not for long. Montenegro has yet to see the construction of massice concerte apartments on the coast as Iberia has and the tourism minister has said that he wants legislation to prevent this.
