One by one, the mysterious deaths of the 5 babies, in which 24-year-old Irini Mourtzoukou was present, are being scrutinized by the Homicide unit located in Amaliada.
The Homicide Squad is in Patras and is taking statements about the death of the infant who died in 2021 while Irini was watching over him.
The mother of the 6-month-old infant is the first witness who is called to recall in her memory exactly what had happened on that day when her child became cold. He accuses the 24-year-old directly and openly.
Statements will be taken from Katerina’s ex-partner as well as from 2 people who are close friends of the baby’s mother and Irene.
One woman is even expected to hand over the photos of the dead child that Irini Mourtzoukou sent her.
Irini insists that she has nothing to do with the deaths
The 24-year-old denies what has come to light from witness statements at GADA.
He insists he has nothing to do with the deaths.
«I had never put the children between me and Popi, the children were not my fault».
He admits that he was jealous of Popi, the mother of little Panagiotakis, but denies that he had tied her with a cable and that he threatened her 8-year-old daughter.
«Is it reasonable now that I go tie Popi up with the cable and then threaten Grandma too?».
He even denied the audio document shown on the show “Light in the Tunnel” when he had grabbed Popi’s 8-year-old daughter by the throat, cutting off her breath last September.
«I neither hit her nor bothered her. I grabbed her by the shoulder and told her ‘get in the bathroom’».
«I had dropped my daughter off to have an exam and to have Mina company. My mother had gone to the supermarket with my sister and Irini was there and because the little girl wanted, I didn’t understand, to take a bath, she wanted her mom to bathe her, I didn’t quite understand, Irini caught her from neck and my daughter saw this and says to her ‘what are you doing there?’Panagiotakis’ aunt revealed to MEGA.
Grigoris Leon on the results of the exams
Awaiting the official results of the toxicological and histological examinations of little Panagiotakis, Grigoris Leon, the technical consultant appointed by the child’s father, reports:
«What the girl tells us about Panagiotakis, the main question will be: do they match the histological and toxicological findings? If they match it’s case over for us».
The 24-year-old Irini was also asked about the father of her children, revealing that he belongs to her close family.
What the experts say
Leading medical examiners speak on Live News and stand in particular on the presence of certain objects, which under certain circumstances could cause suffocation death without a trace.
«When a pillow, sheet, or blanket is used obviously and prevents injuries from occurring so that the only findings are those that will be seen at the necropsy“, explains Grigoris Leon, medical examiner.
Three months after the death of Panagiotakis, Irini displayed a vomit-covered blouse to support that she took the child alive to the hospital.
In fact, Irini claimed that she carried this blouse all the way in the car while holding Popi’s baby in her arms.
He had given the child such a blouse to sleep in the night before. According to eyewitnesses, Panagiotakis that night was particularly worried with Irini calling his mother to return home as her son was not well.
She was cradling her child and we were yelling at her
Irene’s aunt described to Live News the phone call she received from the 24-year-old upon the death of her first daughter. She saw her child getting bruised and she covered him with the sheet, because she thought he was getting cold, she reports and shocks.
«The child is bruised. And it begins now and it freezes and is covered by Peace. Just in case he wants something more. Does anything get cold? And at that time he hears something like a sigh “ah” this and the baby then disappeared».
A testimony about Irene’s second child had also caused a sensation. Frederika’s godmother reported that she often saw the 24-year-old cocooning her daughter up to the top with the risk of her escaping. Features states:
«In the beginning, when I first came, the child was covered with a blanket. That’s how I met Irene. To see a blanket over the child’s head. And to go and pull her there I “stuck” with the child. I tell her, “hey, the child will run away.” Never see the hooded kid again, with the blanket so high. It’s hot.” And she was telling me that the doctors told her to put the blanket on top. To keep the child warm. “It’s going to explode, what are you telling me now?” I tell her».
The mother’s testimony
Her mother had the exact same reaction when she saw the then minor Irini putting a pillow over her younger sister’s mouth and nose.
«Every now and then Irene went to the child and put the pillow on top of him. Because I am afraid of this thing, I argued with her. Her dad used to tell me she was playing».
In fact, Mrs. Popi does not rule out that she played the same dangerous game that afternoon when her other sister, Zoe Iliana, died inexplicably in her sleep.
- Could he have made the same play again? Would your mind go there?
- He had gone and my other relatives had told me about it at the time, only dad doesn’t admit it. We had said it then and we had already argued with her about it, that maybe you really did tease the child.
Every testimony is important especially if we are talking about the symptoms the baby showed before they ended.
On Friday, of course, for the first time we heard Popi say that she finally found her son bruised with his tongue sticking out. That is, what he had reported to the police from the beginning.
From the day Homicide took over the witnesses appear willing to tell only the truth.
