The 35-year-old man who has confessed to the murder of a Polish professor described the victim as an “evil and strange person,” claiming he took his life following instructions from the professor’s ex-wife.

In the beginning of his preliminary statement to the police, the accused said:

“First of all, I want to sincerely apologize. I am a good person, not a criminal or thug. Everything I did, I did for the good of my children and my family. I’ve faced many hardships since I was a child and never grew up in a normal family. My only dream has always been to build my own family. I got married to F.A., and we had a son, who is now 14 years old. F. and I are separated, but we have a good relationship because of our child.”

He then talked about his relationship with the professor’s ex-wife and described the victim:

“Currently, I’m in a relationship with K.M. Nadia also has two children from her previous marriage to a Polish professor. She and the professor, Przemysław Jeziorski, divorced in 2020. Their relationship was very bad. Jeziorski wanted to take the kids to live with him in the U.S., but if that happened, Nadia would’ve died inside. Let me tell you, Przemysław was a very strange and evil person. He didn’t treat Nadia or the kids well. He thought he was superior and knew everything. He believed everyone else was beneath him. Even when he spent time with the kids, he was indifferent — didn’t care whether they ate or were happy.”

Regarding the couple’s disputes over custody, the suspect explained:

“Nadia and Jeziorski had gone to court over the custody terms. Based on the ruling, Jeziorski was allowed to take the children for one month every summer. But we all knew he had money and strong connections, and we feared that eventually, he would take the kids from her entirely.”

He went on to describe how he planned and prepared the murder of the 43-year-old professor:

“A month and a half ago, I made the decision to end this torment once and for all. I went to Omonia, looked around, and bought a pistol and some bullets from someone. That night I told Nadia I was going to leave Athens and head to Nafplio for vacation. Since Jeziorski was in Athens at the time, we thought it was a good chance to get rid of him once and for all. So I took Nadia’s car and drove to Tolo in Nafplio, where I met up with a friend from Bulgaria.”

He then described meeting the individuals accused of being his accomplices:

“The two Albanians gave me the gun in the morning. We all got into a Porsche. I covered myself with a blanket so I wouldn’t be recognized and switched cars. From there, we went straight to Haidari, because I knew from Nadia that she, Jeziorski, and the kids had an appointment with the child psychologist. When we got there, I had just missed him, so I called my son to ask where they were. He said that after the session, Nadia and the kids were going back to our house, and Jeziorski would come later to pick them up. So we drove to Agia Paraskevi and parked the car on Irinis Street near the house.”

The 35-year-old claimed he waited in ambush for the Polish professor and when he saw him, he got out with the weapon:

“Around 4:00 p.m., I saw Jeziorski walking toward the house. When I saw him, I pulled the gun from my bag, cocked it, and got out of the car. F. and A. (the two Albanians) told me not to do anything stupid, but I just stepped out and walked toward Jeziorski. I approached him and shot him a few times, but I don’t remember how many,” he said.
