78-year-old Penelope Katsavos, who has been opening the Orthodox Church of Saints Constantine and Helen in Melbourne’s South Yarra for 30 years, ended up in hospital with a broken wrist, a broken pelvis and bleeding in two parts of the brain. While she was on her steps church Early in the morning he was savagely attacked by a man and a woman.
The perpetrator hit her brutally on the face and body. The 78-year-old fell covered in blood and he continued to kick her. Her pram was snatched, which transported her belongings and the couple fled, leaving the injured woman to bleed, says the ERT correspondent.
There, helpless on the steps of the church, she was discovered half an hour later by a cleaning clerk. The woman was taken to hospital, where she is being treated in a stable condition, with a broken wrist, a broken pelvis and bleeding in two parts of the brain.
The stroller with her belongings was found abandoned just below the point of attack, without the perpetrators taking anything. Ms. Katsavos told police that the couple must have been under the influence of substances.
She cannot take care of her demented husband
Her son elderly Evri Katsavos, who has given her six grandchildren, called on the perpetrators to surrender before being located by police. “It’s just inappropriate to hit anyone, let alone an elderly, defenseless woman,” he said.
He said that his mother has a lot of faith in her and gives everyone strength, despite the ordeal she went through. But her injury means that she will not be able to take care, as she has done so far, of her husband Thomas, who has dementia.
The Archbishop of Australia Mr. Makarios, informed about the sad incident of the brutal attack on a devoted parishioner of I.N. Saints Constantine and Helen South Yarra, in Melbourne, contacted immediately to be informed of her state of health. She asked to be conveyed to her family his personal wishes for a speedy and complete recovery, as well as the paternal sympathy of the Ecumenical Patriarch Mr. Bartholomew.
