Tragic Murder of U.C. Berkeley Professor: Ex-Wife and Four Others Charged
Authorities detain suspects in the shocking murder of Przemyslaw Jeziorski, a prominent professor, revealing a complex web of relationships.
Five individuals have been charged in the shocking murder of Przemyslaw Jeziorski, a respected professor at the University of California, Berkeley, who was fatally shot outside Athens on July 4. Among those arrested is Jeziorski’s ex-wife and her current partner, as confirmed by Greek law enforcement.
The five suspects were presented in court facing serious accusations of deliberate homicide in relation to the gruesome incident, where Jeziorski was gunned down in broad daylight. The 43-year-old academic, also known for his teachings in quantitative marketing at the Haas School of Business, was shot multiple times and died from his injuries.
Legal counsel for the ex-wife has publicly stated that she had no role in the murder and denied ongoing custody disputes with Jeziorski, suggesting a cooperative relationship. Meanwhile, the current partner of Jeziorski's ex-wife reportedly admitted to taking part in the crime but provided no further details about their involvement.
Reports indicate that at the time of the attack in Agia Paraskevi, a suburb in northern Athens, Jeziorski was with his two young children, addressing legal matters concerning custody. Tensions concerning custodial rights had been noted previously, casting a shadow over what was an unthinkable crime against a beloved educator.
The investigation continues as authorities gather evidence and seek to uncover more about the motives behind this tragic situation, which has left a community reeling from both loss and shock.
