Murder and in the same way showed the conclusion of the forensic doctors for Malena and Iris, the two younger children of Roula Pispirigou and Manos Daskalakis, which was handed over to the police and prosecution authorities.
Analyses showed that both of the first two children in the family did not die of pathological causes but of asphyxiation caused by human causes.
After a long time and examinations, Nikos Karakoukakis and Nikos Kalogrias decided that there is a common cause of death of both girls.
The conclusion seems to be that it is a homicide, since both Iris and Malena did not finally breathe their last breath due to a pathological cause but both girls aged 3.5 and 6 months died due to «the blockage of the upper airways (mouth and nose)» as it is mentioned.
In the case of Iris, the «key» was a cloth. This is because the blood and other fluids as proved by the examinations of the two forensic doctors did not come from the lungs, as there would have been residues in the trachea, but from a wound in the mouth of the 6-month-old baby.
This fact reveals that the cloth was used to block the child's oral cavity, resulting in a suffocating death. Inside the house that night, in the spring of 2021, were Roula Pispirigou, her sister Demetra and then 8-year-old Georgina.
As far as Malena is concerned, the toxicology tests conducted showed nothing objectionable as they were found clean. However, the liver failure found as the cause of death in the 3.5 year old girl along with some other findings was due to asphyxiation which was caused by human factor.
«Why should we adopt this conclusion?»
For his part, the lawyer of the 33-year-old stressed that on the one hand there is the conclusion of Ms. Tsiola and Ms. Tsakonas who mentioned for Iris as the cause of death of the venous sinus agenesis and pulmonary edema, while for Malena the lactic insufficiency. On the other hand, the conclusion of Karakouki - Kalogria, who cite asphyxia as the cause.
«Which of the two findings should we adopt and why?», said Otto Papadopoulos, questioning how valid the review of a forensic examination can be.
«Is a second degree of judgment allowed at autopsy? Can we rely on the conclusion of two people who examined documents and not the scientists who performed the autopsies on the children?», Roula Pispirigou's lawyer noted, among other things.
«She gave Iris's rag to the authorities»
Then, speaking on «Live News», Papadopoulos said the following: «We were not surprised by the finding because there was already a climate - and based on the leaks that were there - of course, we do not have this finding in our hands, I speak on behalf of my client.
Because no prosecution has yet been brought for the act and I don't know whether the evidence in the report is sufficient to prosecute. In this particular case we have no suspect or defendant status, we are not entitled to copies, so we have no further information.
Referring to Iris's cloth, he stressed that «it is something that she gave to the authorities, so based on common sense, if she brought some incriminating evidence for herself, why would she send it herself and bring it to the attention of the authorities? If she had committed a criminal act her aim would have been to dispose of evidence, not to present it to the authorities herself.
At the same time, he explained that the accused's position from the beginning is that the key evidence against her is the triple recurrence of the incident that has made her a suspect, which she claims is a coincidental paradox, denying any involvement, while stating that she could never turn against her children and cause them harm.».
Testified Roula's mother: The references to the strained relationship between her daughter and Manos
Meanwhile, as it became known, the mother of Roula Pispirigou's mother testified for about five hours today (20/6) to the team of the Homicide Department of the Attica Security Department, which has gone to Achaia to take her statement on the deaths of Iris and Malena.
Eleni Legatou arrived under extreme secrecy at the Police Station of Kato Achagia around 09:30 and was completed at 14:00, as part of the statements taken by police officers from relatives and friends of the couple's families.
In their questions, the police officers allegedly focused particularly on the relationship between Roula Pispirigou and Manos Daskalakis. The mother of the accused, according to «T-Lve», has not changed anything from what she said from the beginning.
He supports the 33-year-old woman saying that «there is no way my daughter could have killed her three children». It is noted that the father of Manos Daskalakis has already testified since Saturday. According to reports, the testimony of the stepfather of Roula Pispirigou is expected.
What the father of Manos Daskalakis testified
The father of Manos Daskalakis testified on Saturday at the GADA, where he was mainly asked about the relations between Roula Pispirigou and her children. According to a report by the show «Truths with Zina», the girls' grandfather testified that Roula Pispirigou was a decent mother, in the sense that she cared for and looked after her children and that neither he nor anyone else in his environment had noticed anything strange.
He was also asked about the relations he and his wife had with the parents of Roula Pispirigou, and he replied that they were good but formal.
