New revelations about the thriller in Amaliada were made by the Light in the Tunnel, which has been investigating the case with the death of infants for some time.
As Aggeliki Nikolouli revealed on September 19, in the attempt to communicate with the mother of little Panagiotis, who passed away suddenly in the summer of 2024, Irini Mourtzoukou pretended to be Popi, the mother of little Panagiotis.
In fact, after the video was shown, the mother of the unfortunate baby, Popi, contacted Angeliki Nikoloulis and confirms that she was not the one who answered the phone.
Irene speaks as Popi
“I can’t talk right now because I have my mother at the Health Center. The results are still not out and my lawyer will let you know what they are. I haven’t done anything yet, because I have runs these days. I don’t want publicity, I can’t do that,” Irini reportedly said, pretending to be Popi.
To the journalist’s persistent questions regarding what Irini had told her a few days earlier, she agreed even now as Popi, while at the same time trying to cut off the communication.
“I would like you to call me in the afternoon when Irene will be with me, to talk to her because I am not in the mood to talk now. The child had no problem nor is there anything hereditary, it was fine. He didn’t swallow anything. We don’t know how he got it. Suddenly the child turned black and could not breathe. When we took it to the hospital it was alive and they came out to say that we took it dead. Despite my experience as a mother of an eight-year-old girl, I don’t know how Panagiotakis could have left,” she continued.
Popi: I’m not the one answering the phone
The mother of little Panagiotis, Popi, contacted Angeliki Nikoloulis to categorically deny that she was the one talking on the phone and to confirm that it was Irini.
Contradictions
However, Irene had described as Popi what happened to the child on the fateful day.
Contrary to what has been said so far, Irini, pretending to be the child’s mother, said that all this happened at a different time than the one recorded in the statements.
“We knew he was in trouble when we saw his head was turned and he was bruised, as he was in the pram. I didn’t hear a cough or anything. As soon as I saw it, I called Irini and she massaged him. The child was trying to react and breathe. All this took three minutes until one of our cousins came by car, so we could go straight to the Health Center”, says Irini like Popi.
When asked by the journalist if her second child was in front of this scene or if he was with his dad, she answered:
“My daughter was not present in this incident. It was to my sister in Athens, not to my ex-husband, because we are not on good terms. The child did not get suction because he had to eat since ten in the morning. The incident happened on the 12th. I don’t know what could have happened”, he concludes and shocks with the impersonation he chose.
“I was protecting Popi”
After viewing the videos and the intervention of the child’s mother, Popi, the show was also contacted by Irini who admitted that she pretended to be the child’s mother in order to protect her.
“I wanted to protect her” answers Irini about the audio where she pretends to be Popi
Another lie from Murtzouko is denounced by her maid of honor
Another lie that seems to have been told by Irini Murtzoukou was revealed in yesterday’s “Tunnel”, according to what the godmother of Irini’s second child who died at the Children’s “Agia Sophia” claimed. This concerns the child’s sheets and onesie on the fateful day.
The godmother refutes Irene that the clothes her daughter was wearing are not going to be taken by Homicide because he has buried them with the child. Her description is shocking: “I sit and watch all this and think why so many lies. If you open the child’s coffin, you will find nothing, because I had laid the specific sheets on the bed with my own hands. They are the ones he threw at me when he left and then denied it. He kept them like crap.”
“He came in and told the cold that the child died”
The godmother goes on to say that she had begged Irene not to tell her child anything about her baby’s death in order to make it easy for him, but she ignored her.
She remembers that the 24-year-old “entered the room, holding the sheets and told him coldly. It couldn’t have been colder. ‘What are you doing?’ I tell her and then I was trying to help the child, because he was sobbing, he had a seizure. He leaves, turns and throws the sheets at me. He threw them at me three steps away from the bed. Now what Irini says…what can I say.”
In the following days, however, he changed his attitude. “After the relevant messages that you put out on the show, he said that he did not remember this incident and asked me to apologize and to go get the sheets that I have handed over to the authorities. Then she said that after all it’s not these sheets, that she has them in Achaia and I replied that then she has nothing to fear. At the end, he comes back and tells me that he finally has them in the box together with the child” adds the godmother.
Asked what other lies she has detected in Irini’s words, she said: “There are many, one behind the other. She says her sister was at the hospital every day, which never happened. As long as I was there, from the moment I met Irene, until the last moment when she left, the only people who came twice in the two crises were the stepfather and the stepmother.”
And he concludes: “At the death of the child, I went down to the canteen and there was the stepfather with the stepmother, with the latter asking me, ‘did you hear from the doctors my girl if the child has been abused?’ I answered her in the negative and before I could find out why she was asking, Irini appeared and my stepmother motioned for us to end the conversation”…
