Dead infant in Kypselis: Conflicting statements by parents about time of death
The two accused parents give different accounts of when the infant died — 2022 or 2023. The case is being examined by investigative authorities.
Conflicting statements regarding the death of an infant in Kypselis
As reported by Newsbeast, the two accused parents of the dead infant found in Kypselis gave entirely different accounts to the investigating magistrate regarding the time of the child's death.
The 38-year-old claimed that the baby died in June 2023, whilst the 43-year-old stated that he was "certain" the death occurred in June 2022 — a difference of an entire year.
In her testimony, the 38-year-old described how the infant had stomach pains and a fever before dying, and that her husband gave the baby a massage on the stomach. She stated that the infant was with her husband and their two other children before the death, and that she saw it dead.
When asked why she did not notify the police, the 38-year-old said: "I did not tell the police because I wanted to keep it close to me. I was also afraid that the police would take my other two children." She added that she came to Greece fourteen years ago, that all three of her children were born here, and that she categorically denies the charges against her. "We do not sell drugs. We do not use drugs in front of the children. I am asking for a chance. I am seven months pregnant," she testified.
She also reportedly admitted for the first time that she had attempted to bury the dead infant on previous occasions without succeeding, citing psychological incapacity.
According to testimony presented, the infant's body remained in freezer storage and the 38-year-old saw it every time she opened the door. The 43-year-old, for his part, allegedly claimed before the investigating magistrate that the decision to place the infant in the freezer was his own idea.
The new details — and particularly the discrepancy regarding the date of death — are expected to be examined further by investigative authorities. The conflicting accounts given by the two accused create new questions both about the circumstances of death and about the events that followed.
