Greek mother Roula Pispirigkou whose three children all died in suspicious medical circumstances over the last three years was led before an Athens examining magistrate on Thursday, following her arrest in the city of Patras on Wednesday on a charge of murder.
She requested and received an extension to testify and was transferred back to the Attica General Police headquarters in Athens, where she will be detained until her testimony.
The order to prosecute the 33-year-old woman came from an Athens prosecutor, who charged her with the premeditated murder of her eldest daughter, Georgina, aged nine.
Toxicological and histological tests revealed ketamine – reportedly not prescribed by any doctor – in the body of the girl, who died in January 2022.
