The stronger of the two, at magnitude 5.0, occurred at 10:06 p.m.
in southeastern Evia, according to the Athens Geodynamic Institute. that had roughly the same epicenter, some 58 kilometers (36 miles) northeast of the Greek capital. It was preceded by a magnitude 4.8 quake at 6:32 a.m.
Westwood and her children moved to a secret address in the hope Clark would not find her but following his release he discovered where she lived and in April 2021 attacked her in the kitchen of her home.
The locals love coming here. In the bar and restaurant area, there were only five single electric sockets. The old carpets were held together with sticky tape. It was like 'God's waiting room' when we came here last year. We sold everything in Nottingham to buy this hotel.
The European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), which revised down an initial reading of 5.7 magnitude, said the quake struck 5 kilometres (3.1 miles) below the surface in the gulf separating mainland Greece from the Peloponnese peninsula, 16 kilometres from the town of Itea.
The postbag at Hatters Hotel in the seaside resort of Skegness gets heavier by the day.
It is brimming with letters sent by well-wishers from across Britain with messages such as 'I salute you'; 'Keep up your brave stance'; and 'Let's hope local people support you'.
This may seem like a bad case of nimbyism. It ended in disarray, when a woman stood up and said the people of Skegness were racist. But along Skegness promenade, there is already a strip of four hotels: the Grand, the Sun, online taxi athens the County and the Chatsworth, taxi price Thessaloniki to airport which have been requisitioned for private taxi athens greece migrants by the Home Office.
'Our heating bills are running into hundreds a week and we are wrapping up in blankets,' said one disgruntled man in his 60s, as he surveyed the County Hotel.
'At night I have seen the hotel's windows wide open and the warmth flying out. They don't have to pay, of course.'
Inside one vehicle were the distinctive blue polystyrene bags, with identity tags, Thessaloniki guided tours which hold the clothing the migrants wore on their cross-Channel journey before being given a dry set at Dover. At midday last Tuesday on the seafront, laundry vans from a Lincolnshire firm were taking away sheets for washing.
During that terrifying 3am head-to-head confrontation, Clarke broke down the front door transportation in greece athens of Westwood's home and lunged at her with the broken bottle of vodka only for her to fight back and stab him twice in the chest.
Surely, some wily businessperson will be ready to snap up the establishment for a guaranteed income of nearly £550,000 a year from the Government. There is no shortage of migrants needing beds in Britain.
One Facebook video posted by locals shows a migrant asking a passer-by for help to find a private taxi athens greece to take him to Sheffield. He said he'd come to 'England' on a boat and had been in Skegness for three days.
But the mother-of-two wept as she was given a 16-month jail term suspended for two years after prosecutors accepted her plea to the lesser charge of unlawful wounding due to Clark's abusive behaviour. Last December at Minshull Street Crown Court Westwood faced jail after being charged with causing grievous bodily harm with intent.
Emma Westwood, 37, was given a suspended sentence for causing grievous bodily harm after she snapped and twice knifed Christopher Clark in the stomach and left him for dead when he came at her with a broken bottle last year.
One young woman walking past one of the migrant hotels late one evening was allegedly told by a man with a foreign accent standing in the front garden: 'You are a white kafir (non-Muslim) slag.' Verbal abuse is also a problem.
Clark recovered from his injuries but declined to give a statement to officers.
Westwood was arrested after she admitted to stabbing him in self-defence. Police were called to the scene by Westwood's father and found Clark lying on the pavement outside with blood pouring from his wounds.
For their part, the Home Office-commandeered hotels are keen to avoid any close scrutiny. When a film crew approached one of them to ask about the asylum seekers, they were told to go away by a severe-looking security guard.
As Gary says: 'Skegness is a favourite for children who love the donkey rides, sandcastles and candy floss. It has always been a safe place to come on holiday.' There is talk of the Government taking over more properties, including a care home housing elderly dementia patients, which is permanently shutting its business five days before Christmas.
This has made locals twitchy.
Where would they get work in a seaside resort out of season? How would we have lived with ourselves? As they sit beside a roaring fire at their hotel, Gary adds: 'The neighbours would have hated us for it. The agent from the Home Office said all but one of the 15 full and part-time staff would have to be sacked.
A recent advertisement posted by Home Office recruitment agencies for migrant 'hotel housing officers' in Skegness warned: 'These roles are not for the faint-hearted. You will be based at hotels which the Government is using exclusively for best private tours in Thessaloniki greece asylum seekers.' Ability needed with difficult situations.
