Suzanne Eaton
Pro-tip: don’t be a woman. It’s dangerous.
Greek police have arrested a suspect in the murder of an American scientist who was found dead in an abandoned World War II bunker on the island of Crete last week.
The unnamed suspect is a 27-year-old Greek man who was brought in for questioning Monday and was later arrested after he “confessed his crime,” according to Maj. Gen. Constantinos Lagoudakis, director of Police General Directorate of Crete.
He murdered her why? Oh, you know, he wanted to use her, and that’s easier when they’re dead.
The suspect claimed that he spotted U.S. citizen Suzanne Eaton walking toward the Evelpidon monument during the afternoon of July 2 and, “motivated by sexual satisfaction,” hit her twice with his car to stop her, according to Eleni Papathanassiou, a spokeswoman for Crete’s police department.
The suspect claimed he put Eaton, who was apparently unconscious, in the trunk of his vehicle and drove to the bunker’s ventilation drain, where he raped her and abandoned her there, Papathanassiou said.
Now be honest: haven’t we all done that a few times?
Who was this woman a man so casually destroyed for a poke?
Eaton, a 59-year-old molecular biologist and mother of two, was attending a scientific conference held at the Orthodox Academy of Crete in northwest Crete when she vanished on July 2.
That’s who.
Can we hope she didn’t suffer?
An autopsy determined that Eaton died at noon on July 2. Her body showed signs of “a violent criminal act and possibly sexual abuse,” Lagoudakis said in his statement Tuesday. She had many broken ribs and face bones as well as multiple injuries to both hands, according to Papathanassiou’s statement.
A police source told ABC News that Eaton fought for her life when she was attacked by someone with a knife. Her body had substantial injuries from a blade that was “defensive” in nature, the source said.
All for a fuck.
Eaton was a research group leader at the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics in Dresden, Germany.
“We have come to know Suzanne as a lively and committed woman who made a decisive contribution to the development of our institute. Her sudden and untimely death is devastating for us all,” Michael Schroeder, director of the TU Dresden Biotechnology Center, said in a statement last week. “We will remember Suzanne as a remarkable person. We are profoundly saddened and speechless.”
She was also a professor at the Biotechnology Center of the Technical University of Dresden in Germany, known as TU Dresden.
“We were shocked to learn of the death of our dear colleague and friend, Prof. Suzanne Eaton,” Hans Muller-Steinhagen, rector of the TU Dresden, said in a statement last week. “We have lost an immensely renowned scientist and a truly outstanding human being.”
Because one random guy wanted “sexual satisfaction.”
Yeah that’s bad an all, but you cis have it easy. Sometimes, trans women are called men!!!!!!!!!
/s obv
I am…god, I’m sitting here with a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach. No matter how often I read it, how often it happens, I do not become inured. And that is good. We all need to feel sick when this happens, and not just brush it off as guys who are unhappy because they can’t get dates.
There is something rotten at the core of our society. Perhaps the entire society is rotten to the core out, and we merely have a thin veneer of humanity on top of it. I never thought that in the past, but more and more, I am becoming disgusted with the behavior of humans who seem to have no conscience, no brakes, no…human feeling.
And why in the world should this guy think his need for sex mattered more than the life of a woman? What is the world saying to men that they can think this way? (Rhetorical – I already know)
No words, just horror and disgust.
Men like this need to be dead.
100% agreed there…
The suspect is described (in ‘Daily Beast’) as the son of an Orthodox priest; a man who ‘had been under police watch for an unrelated crime.’
And married, with two children. I anticipate a litany of violence and misogyny long demonstrated and ignored.
