‘Ex-Wife of UC Berkeley Professor Shot in Greece
Arrested on Suspicion of Plotting his Killing‘

***********************

If you followed the shooting death of Professor Dan Markel, you will find virtually all of the details of Przemek Jeziorski’s shooting death familiar. Annoyed that the father of her children wanted to father them, his ex-wife (speculating here, but on pretty solid ground) had some criminal connections, probably through her current boyfriend, and she hired them to blow his brains out right there in the street.

Not everyone has this particular skill – walk up to a stranger, shoot him to death – but both the Adelsons and Nadia Michelidaki seem to have known people who knew people with these abilities.

‘[A]uthorities arrested Michelidaki and accused her of convincing her current partner to kill Jeziorski.

Police also arrested her companion — who has not been identified — and three other men as accomplices.

The three men, two Albanians and a Bulgarian man, were accused of transporting the shooter to the crime scene and giving him the firearm used in the crime.

Another Greek news outlet, iefmerida, reported Michelidaki denied any involvement in the crime when she was arraigned, while her partner and the accused gunman admitted to authorities to shooting Jeziorski, and doing so at Michelidaki’s request.‘

UD, as readers know, likes to follow certain high-profile murders, and she must admit she’s GOBSMACKED by the stupidity of degenerates who think they can contract kill a person they’re known to hate with a passion… and get away with it! In both cases, the conspiracy included gobs of people (I’m counting at least seven in the Markel case, and this one in Greece looks to have involved at least five), and, you know, the more people in on it, the greater your chance of discovery. But beyond that, doesn’t it occur to these idiots that the sudden grotesque gunning down of a perfectly innocent random human being will confidently lead investigators to the only possible people who wanted him dead?

And look what the killers have achieved. They have produced orphans whose mothers killed their fathers. Mothers who will go to prison for life for their crime. Nicely done.
