As the "crime of the century" if proven guilty of Roula Pispirigou in the murder of at least one of her daughters, Thanos Askitis describes this horrific case.

Speaking to iefimerida.gr, Dr. Psychiatry of the University of Athens estimates that clearly if - he stresses - the guilt of the 33-year-old woman is proven, then it is a mentally disturbed case that requires "a very specialized approach". He refrains from making any assessment of the nature of the mental illness, since he would need all the data from her environment and, of course, to examine her thoroughly.
"It's an unfortunate story with many facets, why one would come to this extreme," he points out.
The antidepressant properties of ketamine How it can kill
Thanos Askitis explains that the way ketamine causes death is through cardiac arrest: In large doses the drug is toxic and causes tachycardia and can cause cardiac arrest. "The authorities were right to suspect its administration, given the tachycardia that had been reported for little Georgina," he stresses.
It is very easily administered, either intravenously or through the nose, and even in ampoule form.
In fact, the properties of this substance have only recently begun to be thoroughly studied. Although the substance was first used in 1962, in the field of animal anaesthesia, clinical trials on its properties in the field of human psychology began in 2010.
Earlier, and in the Vietnam War, it was administered as a heavy anaesthetic to wounded American soldiers, and was also recorded as having psychotropic properties.
Clinical studies on ketamine are related to its properties as an antidepressant, and in experiments small doses have been administered to depressives in cases where known drugs do not work, as Thanos Askitis explains.
