Thanasis Katerinopoulos had expressed from the first moment the opinion that the death of the three underage girls of the Daskalakis family in Patras was caused by a criminal act. As he explained, the two pieces of evidence in favour of this were the absence of a gene problem and the fact that all three children died at the weekend.
The arrest of the mother, Roula Pispirigou, comes to vindicate the retired EL.AS who was also praised yesterday on social media by users who had nothing but flattering words to post.

Thanasis Katerinopoulos participated in the dismantling of the terrorist organizations of 17th November and E.L.A. and was awarded the highest honorary distinction of the Golden Cross by the President of the Republic. One of the most difficult moments in his life, which remains with him to this day, was the day he lost his son Epaminondas. The calendar read March 1, 2017 when 30-year-old Epaminondas suddenly passed away in his sleep. Three days before his father Thanasis' birthday. His other son Antonis, who gives him strength and courage to face the loss, is a huge consolation.
His first television appearances on Angeliki Nikolouli's show "Light at the Tunnel" where he expresses the "Common Sense of Justice" to the fullest extent. Noble, modest, he transmits to the viewer without populism his intuition and empathy for each case. He was the first who, when the nation was shocked by the murder of Caroline in Sweet Waters, had turned his attention to her husband Bambi Anagnostopoulos. It was he who raised key questions by putting the pilot, who later turned out to be the brutal murderer, in the frame of suspects from the very beginning.
So in the case of Patras from the first days without fear Thanasis Katerinopoulos spoke of a criminal act and the development of the case vindicated him once again. "I am now convinced that the other two children also left her hands. I do not exclude the cover of a person from her close environment," the honorary president of the ELAS officers said yesterday on the occasion of the criminal charges brought against 33-year-old Roula Pispirigou for manslaughter with intent against her 9-year-old daughter Tzortzina.
Speaking on Star's main newscast, he noted that the ELAS should investigate whether Roula Pispirigou had been treated in a private psychiatric clinic in Patras. He also added that it should be investigated where she bought Ketamine from. "Most likely she will deny it but from what I can estimate if she is examined for 8 10 hours she will not only confess where she got the ketamine but also how she killed the other two children because I am convinced now that the other two children also left her hands," he said and added "We have reached the beginning of the end of this case.
A criminal prosecution for manslaughter has been filed but only for Georgina, we have the other two children who 'left' their mother's hands. While he went on to say that, "what made me argue from the very first moment that it was a crime, is initially that I have practiced body language and this lady's appearances have shown that she is guilty. On the other hand there is another important fact, all the deaths of the children occurred on Saturday to Sunday." The retired Brigadier General of the Greek Police, pointed out that, "Also, when in the process the doctors replied that there was no gene problem it was now certain for me, and I may have had a reservation but in the last few days and with the new evidence I was sure".
