Police on Corfu were investigating the death of a 50-year-old German national and her 7-year-old daughter in the village of Antiperni.
According to initial reports, the 50-year-old, who had been residing in the village located in the northern part of the Ionian island in the last few years, drowned the child in a bathtub before hanging herself.
The bodies were subsequently discovered by the woman’s 58-year-old partner late on Wednesday.
