A man in Crete has been sentenced to life imprisonment for the rape and murder of a researcher at the Max Planck Institute in Dresden. A Rethymno court found the 28-year-old guilty of the murder of biologist Suzanne Eaton on Tuesday. He was charged with murder, rape and illegal possession of weapons.
The man confessed to assaulting, raping and murdering the 59-year-old woman in early July last year. In questioning after his arrest, he said he was forced to pull the woman down when he saw her jogging on the side of the road. Eaton’s body was found in a cave near the city of Chania about a week after the crime.
The accused is totally guilty
At the beginning of the trial, a police officer said that the 28-year-old farmer initially denied everything, but confessed after a six-hour questioning. He spoke of the demons that had taken over him. The psychologists found the defendants totally guilty. Suzanne Eaton was born in the United States and worked at the Max Planck Institute in Dresden for almost 20 years before her death. She left a husband and two children. His family appeared as a joint plaintiff at the trial in Crete.
