"Our daughter is a child with severe psychological problems" says the family of the 17-year-old girl
On the 8th floor of the building of the General Police Directorate of Athens, The 17-year-old student who in the afternoon of the same day butchered her 23-year-old friend with a knife in Maroussi is being held since yesterday, Sunday (11/12) evening.[/B]
The "immature" killer was in a state of shock until late yesterday before she was transferred from the North-East Attica sub-district to "Juvenile". As "sources" tell protothema.gr, she seemed lost in her own world while unable to testify.
"I got angry and killed her when she asked not to see me again...." were the words she was chanting about her 23-year-old friend with whom she was very close, while the same "sources" say that the 17-year-old, who faces serious psychological problems and is receiving heavy treatment, has not been taking her medication lately.
The Subdirectorate of Security of Northeast Attica also testified to the parents of the schoolgirl. Her father, a well-known cardiologist in the area, immediately went to the scene as his office is nearby, while her mother told the police that they were all absent from the house and when they were alerted by her mother-in-law who heard the commotion, she went inside and saw her daughter running barefoot covered in blood. In fact, the parents told her that the student had psychiatric problems from a young age, while they also referred to their daughter's close relationship with the victim.
Last night, the 17-year-old's father and her lawyer Mr. Theodoropoulos contacted psychiatrist Dimitris Souras in order to examine the minor. As Mr. Theodoropoulos told protothema, Mr. Souras was informed about the condition of the young woman and is expected in the next few hours to decide whether to examine her or not. What is certain is that the perpetrator had serious problems and was not taking her medication.
The statement of the lawyer of the 17-year-old girl's family
"Yesterday I received an order from the parents of the 17-year-old girl in Maroussi in order to defend their daughter who allegedly committed homicide against her 22-year-old friend.
When I am informed by the Investigating Magistrate and receive knowledge of the case file and the circumstances of the crime, then I will be able to inform public opinion about the circumstances of the tragic incident that shocked all of Greece. Certainly crimes of passion such as this one have many legal ramifications, analyses and details.
Today two families are mourning, not one. The family of the minor perpetrator and the family of the victim.
Representing the alleged perpetrator and having the capacity of her attorney and opposing counsel, I quote the statement of her family in full.
"As a family we are deeply shocked at the loss of our daughter's wonderful and loving friend
Our deepest condolences to her family, we fully feel their grief for their loved one.
The two girls started a wonderful friendship which unfortunately went astray against our will and our strong reaction.
Our daughter is a child with severe psychological problems which unfortunately despite the medical help we provided her from the beginning of her teenage years to countless child psychiatrists - psychologists could not be cured. Justice will decide on the crime committed by our daughter in order not to harm anyone else in the future and last of all herself.
The parents of the unfortunate girl know that the pain of losing their child will follow all of us forever in life."
