More and more more evidence is coming to light in the case of the death of the three girls in Patras.
Following the arrest of Roula Pispirigou for the intentional homicide of her daughter Georgina, the investigation continues as questions about the deaths of the other two girls of the family remain unanswered.
The Homicide Department is reopening the files of the 9-year-old girl's two younger sisters, looking for commonalities with the case that was solved.
Both deaths have features in common with Georgina's death, such as that they mysteriously occurred from cardiac arrest, and while no pathological problems were diagnosed, and that both children ended up with no other witnesses in front of them.
Toxicology tests on Malena, 3.5 years old, done in the same lab as Georgina's, came back clean, while histology concluded liver cell degeneration, a finding consistent with death by asphyxiation. The findings are similar with regard to the death of Iris, who is only 6 months old, as the toxicological tests came out clean, while the histological tests found that there were alterations in the brain cells that occur in cases of asphyxia.
It is possible that the case files may be combined
In fact, it is possible that the case files may be combined, as the president of the Union of Criminalologists, Yannis Glykas, told "MEGA Saturday".
"The homicide department of the National Police did a methodical job, and no one can attribute a flaw in the management of the situation. The inquest will shed light on the case, the non-confession of the accused will keep the interest and occupy a very long time, I consider it certain that she will not admit anything. The case will not be closed immediately, it will possibly go all the way to the Supreme Court. Other evidence will certainly come in and possibly the files of the other children will be combined," he said.
At the same time, he ruled out the possibility that the Munchausen syndrome could be considered a mitigating factor. "Munchausen's syndrome is not a legal outlet, it is not a mental disorder, he knows exactly what he is doing. I believe that the fact that someone has this syndrome will not be considered a mitigating factor," he stressed.
Mutual accusations and insinuations between Manos -Roula
At the same time, Manos Daskalakis' "confrontation" with Roula Pispirgikou is noteworthy. The parents of the three unfortunate girls, as it seems, are now two different "camps".
In one "camp" is the "accused", as her estranged husband suddenly called her, in his first statements after the arrest of the mother of his children, and her family, which began to leave spikes for Manos Daskalakis and his role in the case.
And in the other "camp" is the father of the children, but also his own family, who are anxiously watching the developments and, undoubtedly, should not feel very ... comfortable with the statements of members of Roula Pispirigou's family environment, who put Manos Daskalakis in the "frame" and protest about the "immunity" they believe that he is given for the tragic case of Patras.
"Sphinx" the 33-year-old woman - She found lawyers
The 33-year-old woman, however, who so far remains silent to the police officers' questions, still denies her involvement in the murder of little Georgina and insists she has no idea what the substance ketamine is that killed her child, took a breath of relief on Friday after finally finding a lawyer to represent her. And not just one.
After Apostolos Lytras, who provided legal advice to both parents after the revelations about the causes of Georgina's death and the arrest of Roula Pispirigou, refused to take her case, so did lawyer Nikos Ioannou, who was authorized by her family, but after a meeting he had with the accused in the GADA, decided to resign from her defense.
Following the successive resignations of the two criminal lawyers, the investigator appointed Konstantinos Zardas as the accused's new lawyer ex officio, who received a transmittal and went to the GADA on Friday, where he visited the 33-year-old, with whom he spoke for 40 minutes.
Mr. Zardas, speaking to Alpha after his meeting with the 33-year-old, said: "I saw her very depressed. She has no criminal past, she has no connection in general even with the lightest offences, she has never committed an offence, this is the first time she has been involved and she has literally fallen into the deep, the deepest," he noted.
He added that "this has overwhelmed her, it has frightened her. She is particularly frightened by the possibility of being taken to prison - even as a temporary prisoner for any length of time - humanly. She is like a foreign body, that is, she feels like a foreign body now that she is in detention."
Cooperative - She asks for nothing
In the security detention facilities, Roula Pispirigou, most of the time, is lying down and isolated. She is generally cooperative, asks for nothing, but is "cold and cynical."
According to reports, one of the first words she said when she arrived at Security was "and now what about me". She only speaks on the phone with her mother and sister, who visited her on Thursday on the 7th floor of the GADA.
The 33-year-old has not "broken", even though authorities consider her guilt a given and, they say, have "tied up" the case against her.
She insists she is not responsible for Georgina's death and that she was not the one who administered the ketamine to the child.
The mystery still remains as to how the substance was administered to the child, with the estimates being that it was done by injection, as testified by forensic pathologist Sotiris Bouzianis.
Another unanswered question is where Roula Pispirigou obtained the ketamine from. Police authorities believe that she bought it online, which is why her mobile phone and computer are being thoroughly examined at the forensic laboratories.
Searches at the Patras house in the presence of a prosecutor - What they found
In this context, men of the Patras Security Service conducted searches on Friday afternoon at the house of the Daskalakis family in Patras.
Following an order from the Athens investigating judge, officers of the Patras Security Service went - in the presence of a prosecutor - unannounced to the house of Roula Pispirigou in Bijaniou Street and turned it into a leaf.
For 2.5 hours they "swept" the house, in order to find evidence that will help to solve the case of the death, in principle, of Georgina, but perhaps also of the other two children.
As it became known, among what was seized, was a TV, two full large boxes, bags with unknown contents, a large bag with a carpet and a bird cage.
Sedative pills were found
As thebest.gr reports, in fact, in the house were found and seized:
-50 sedative pills
-One smart TV
-Mobile phone devices
-One laptop
-One tablet
-Books and drawings of Georgina.
The items will be delivered to the forensic laboratories of Athens. The electronic devices will be thoroughly checked.
Call a forensic scientist
As the days go by, more and more shocking revelations come to light, especially about the strange behavior of the 33-year-old accused.
Specifically, after the death of Georgina, Roula Pispirigou called a coroner, while after the death of the little girl, Iris, she was looking for... a criminal lawyer!
A doctor from the Children's Hospital, where 9-year-old Georgina breathed her last breath in January 2022, made a shocking statement about the 33-year-old.
The doctor testified that on the fateful afternoon of January 29, when the mother was informed of the death of the eldest of her three daughters, she came out of the intensive care room and went to the doctors' office, who analyzed what exactly happened and how the child died.
The doctor at the Children's Hospital described in his testimony, according to Open, the reaction of Roula Pispirigou.
"When she came out, it struck me that she was calm, apathetic and did not cry at all. Her reaction was not at all normal for a mother who was announced the death of her child. What shocked me most was her anxiety to have the child's body transported to Patras for an autopsy, something she had insisted on. In fact, instead of contacting her husband or her relatives to inform them of the child's death, she called a coroner in Patras, so that the autopsy could be done there," the doctor said.
She wanted a criminal lawyer after Iris' death
A similar, strange incident was described to Live News by criminal lawyer Yannah Panagopoulou.
As she told the MEGA show and Nikos Evangelatos, Roula Pispirigou was looking for a criminal lawyer after Irida's death.
Specifically, the 33-year-old mother had contacted the criminal lawyer, Gianna Panagopoulou, asking for her legal support when the first two girls, Malena and Irida, had died.
"Mrs Pispirigou had sought to meet me at an earlier time, when the first two children had already died and before the death of little Georgina. She had attended the trial of little Annie and had watched me as counsel. He gave me the impression that he was a person who watched television, cases and crimes, and then sought my legal support," he said.
He added: "I was intrigued because he had not brought me a criminal case file to study. There was no reason at the time, she was neither an accused nor a suspect, so what I told her and herself was that she did not need my support and that of my colleagues."
"My instinct, my experience, did not give me the feeling... She had lost two children and that shocked me. When I hear a distraught mother on the other line, it's usually not them calling me, but a relative. Mrs. Pispirigou didn't put a full stop. She was a person who wanted to be a step ahead. I had typically told her that she was talking to herself," Ms Panagopoulou noted.
The criminal lawyer described a person who wanted to control situations, and stressed that the 33-year-old had legal and toxicological knowledge.
