Greek media report that a Norwegian is wanted for the murder of his partner in the town of Chania on the holiday island of Crete.

It was NRK who first covered the case in Norway.

– The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has knowledge through the media that a Norwegian citizen is being wanted on suspicion of murder in Greece. In the event of arrest, the Foreign Service will provide consular assistance in accordance with the current framework of assistance to Norwegian citizens imprisoned abroad, writes spokeswoman Siri R. Svendsen from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in an email to Dagbladet.

The woman is said to have had stab wounds when she was found in her own home at 11 o’clock local time on Sunday.

According to Greek media, the Norwegian fled in the car of the murder victim. The relationship between them must have been turbulent, according to neighbors, and the crime scene was characterized by the fact that there may have been an argument. Among other things, there was broken glass in the place, according to the media.

It must have been very cold in the house when the police arrived on the scene Sunday.

Neighbors are said to have been concerned because they had not seen the woman, who is in her 50s, for several days. It is unclear when the murder occurred and the deceased will be sent for an autopsy.
