A Greek grandmother who said she fought off two knife-wielding burglars,
gaining the nom de guerre of "super granny" (or the Greek equivalent), has
been revealed as a fraud.
Maria Grepsiou, 66, said last week that she had disarmed one man and stabbed
him with his own knife. "The two men were forced to flee," she told the
media.
After questioning by police, Grepsiou confessed that she made up the story
so that her husband would spend more time with her. The "blood" on her
clothing was determined to be tomato sauce.
And she wonders why hubby is never around.
