The thriller in Patras seems to be coming to an end, as far as the causes of the deaths of the three girls are concerned.
The focus of the investigation has fallen on Georgina, who died last, as what is being sought is whether some pharmaceutical or other substances were given to her that led to her death, which are expected any time soon.
The information of the last 24 hours, in fact, wanted to have discovered a substance in the body of the unfortunate 9-year-old girl and which has been put under the microscope of experts. This substance, is troponin.
The possibilities for the continuation and possible prosecutions
As explained today, Tuesday, the lawyer Ms. Varela, the attending doctors were the ones who started the whole investigation and did not sign the death certificates, adding that what is of particular value for the development of the case is the conclusion of the forensic examination.
"If we have a report that says there is a suffocating death, then of course there is a criminal act and sufficient evidence of guilt to prosecute. The person who is next to the victim has a high probability of being proven to have committed a criminal negligence, omission or action. If the finding has an undetermined cause of death, since we have no confession from a person, it does not mean that the investigating officers cannot be led to prosecute the case through a kidnapping in person. In the absence of a pathological cause or genetic cause, we reach a conclusion. There is no need for a confession or a clear cause of death," he explained.
No one has yet been called as a suspect
He added that the investigating officers already have a clear picture of the place, time and persons who were next to Georgina at her death, however, no person has, as yet, the status of a suspect.
Similarly, the President of the Athens Police Officers' Union, Demosthenes Pakos noted that the Homicide Department, in order to arrest someone, either the evidence must be irrefutable or he must have the conclusion of the forensic investigation in his hands.
We had told the doctors to go to the prosecutor's office, says Smile of the Child
As the social worker at Smile of the Child, Athena Kaleya, told the same TV station, the treating doctors had contacted Smile when she was hospitalized.
"We had initially received a request from the doctors to support the family because she had lost two children, as we do in every case. We declared our support to the family and we were waiting for the corresponding request from the family itself if they wanted our support," she said.
She stressed that the Children's Smile is not the competent body to investigate a case and in this regard they referred the doctors to the public prosecutor's office for anything they were concerned about.
Ms. Kaleya pointed out that since there was no request from the family, the Smile of the Child could not initiate any cooperation with them.
