56-year-old tax collector Petros Xanthopoulos, who was seriously injured in the ax attack on the Kozani Tax Office, eventually passed away.

The unprecedented attack, which shocked the local community and the country, took place on July 16, and the unfortunate tax collector was hospitalized in Thessaloniki, Kozanimedia reported.

One of the victims of the attack had described the incident by speaking to Radio Thessaloniki last January.

Ms. Dora P. recalled from time to time the attack she experienced while working in the Revenue Department of the Kozani Tax Office. As she put it, she saw the 45-year-old perpetrator first walk into her office in an ostensibly indifferent way, then pull the ax out of his backpack and attack with incredible fury at his colleague Petros in the next office.

“I’m crazy!”

“I turned my head and saw an unknown person. I suspected he was related to a colleague. I bent down to work. I heard something and raised my head, and I saw Peter with a broken head, I did not suspect he had an ax. My God “! He turned around and said” I’m crazy, someone else has his turn now, second “! I said to myself, today he will eat us all. I walked out the door and there he grabbed me and hit me from behind.” I don’t remember nothing beyond that, “he said.

As he revealed, months later and after returning home, he wanted to see the video to remember what he did in those seconds of pain and panic. “I only remember the smell of blood. As soon as it hit me, I lost consciousness. I don’t remember anything from that moment.” Not how they took me, not how they took me to the hospital, “he said.

The director of the 2nd ICU of the “Papanikolaou” Hospital also spoke on the same program, where the victims of the attack were treated. “It was a miracle that he survived,” said Mr. Kapravelos, the first victim of the attack on contact with the environment.
