Yesterday Saturday the mother of Irini Mourtzoukou crossed the threshold of Homicide, who launched a fierce accusation against her daughter, raising new questions about the case of the dead children in Amaliada.
The questions about Irene’s mother, the contradictions
For 8 hours she testified to the authorities, stating that she considers her daughter responsible for the children’s death. In the next period, the 24-year-old’s stepfather, the doctors from the “Agia Sophia” Children’s Hospital, as well as people from Irini’s family and friends will be called to testify.
“It’s surprising because everything he says now, he didn’t say before. Everyone says that if he had spoken, children would have been saved, if there is a criminal act”, the special police analyst, Stavros Balaskas, tells MEGA.
“As soon as the cycle of depositions closes, the cycle of re-examinations opens at the same time with regard to forensics, so that they can take the evidence from there as well. The bottom line is that the entire preliminary investigation is moving very quickly and has many elements that are also interesting. Correlations are already being made of the statements that have been made on television by many actors and also by Irini, and there are contradictions which are demonstrated very seriously”.
“The histological will speak”
“No one believes that there has been any poisoning. (…) The basis that has been proven up to this moment is that all the children are reported with hypoxia and that they had a problem with oxygen, with breathing. The histology will show.”
“If there was no Pispirigou case, there would be no noise about the Amaliada case,” criminologist Costas Daltas commented to MEGA.
“Despite the investigations that have been carried out, the cause of death does not appear to be a criminal act. This girl (Irini Murtzoukou) clearly has mental problems, she is making a great effort to go to prison alone”, he added.
What Irini Murtzoukou’s mother said to GADA
The 24-year-old mother testified for 8 hours on the 11th floor of GADA.
“We came to tell the truth. What I know, let the truth come out about the children, what has happened. Now who is to blame and who is not to blame will be found by the Justice. Yes, I blame my daughter. Everything I have said and everything I know will be discussed inside,” said Irini Mourtzoukou’s mother outside GADA.
According to information from the Star, the mother of 24-year-old Irini was emotionally charged and allegedly told Homicide officials: I am determined to tell you the truth. I believe my daughter is responsible for the deaths of the five children. I want everything investigated.
For her part, the mother’s lawyer, Sofia Polyzogopoulou, said: “The process is secret. He has stated from the first moment that he is at the disposal of the authorities. He will report all the evidence to the police. We are very pleased that Homicide took over.”

## Interview: Unpacking the Tragedy in Amaliada
**Introduction:**
Welcome back to World Today News. Today, we delve into the complex and heart-wrenching case of Irini Mourtzoukou and the deaths of her five children in Amaliada. Joining us are two esteemed guests: Dr. Anastasia Papadopoulos, a forensic psychiatrist, and Mr. Nikos Dimitriou, a legal expert specializing in family law and child welfare.
**Section 1: The Accusation and its Implications**
* Dr. Papadopoulos, Irini’s mother has now accused her daughter, stating she believes her responsible for the children’s deaths. What are the potential psychological factors that could influence such a statement from a parent, especially after claiming no such suspicion before?
* Mr. Dimitriou, given the mother’s accusation, how will this impact the legal proceedings going forward? How crucial will it be to corroborate her statements with other evidence?
**Section 2: Examining the Evidence and Scientific Investigations**
* Dr. Papadopoulos, the article mentions hypoxia as a likely cause of death, but the possibility of poisoning is not entirely ruled out. How can forensic science help establish a definitive cause of death, and what role will the histology results play in this investigation?
* Mr. Dimitriou, the Pispirigou case is mentioned as a point of comparison. How does public perception, particularly against the backdrop of another high-profile case, influence the investigation and potential legal outcomes? Could there be a bias towards assuming a criminal act?
**Section 3: Ethical Considerations and Procedural Justice**
* Dr. Papadopoulos, Irini’s mother claims her daughter “wants to go to prison”. How can we ensure ethical handling of mentally vulnerable individuals involved in such sensitive cases? What safeguards are in place to protect their rights and ensure a fair legal process?
* Mr. Dimitriou, the article mentions contradictions in statements made on television. What are the implications of media coverage and public discourse on the objectivity of the investigation? How can we balance the public’s right to information with the need for a fair trial for all involved?
**Section 4: Looking Ahead**
* Dr. Papadopoulos, what are the potential long-term psychological consequences for Irini and her extended family? What kind of support systems are crucial in assisting them through this tragedy?
* Mr. Dimitriou, this case has understandably shocked the community. What steps can societies take to prevent such tragedies in the future? Are there preventative measures that could potentially identify and address risk factors within families?
**Closing:** The tragedy in Amaliada demands careful examination and responsible reporting. We hope this conversation has shed light on the complexities of this case and encouraged viewers to engage in thoughtful discussions around mental health, child welfare, and the judicial process.
