Mourtzoukou: Prosecution for the 'asphyxiating death' of Panagiotakis

Eirini Mourtzoukou, a 25-year-old woman already facing charges for multiple murders, is now also prosecuted for the asphyxiation death of a child named Panagiotakis.

Eirini Mourtzoukou, currently in temporary custody, faces an additional charge following her involvement in the death of a young child named Panagiotakis in August 2024. The Amaliada Prosecutor's Office has charged her with intentional homicide, marking yet another serious allegation against her. This development stems from the forensic findings presented to the judiciary by a trio of forensic experts after reviewing evidence that indicated the child's death was caused by asphyxiation.

Mourtzoukou has already confessed to the murders of her own two infants, a friend's baby, and her underage sister, raising serious concerns about her mental stability and motivations. Police and medical investigators have been closely scrutinizing her confessions and the circumstances of these tragic deaths, with a focus on the implications of her actions and their impact on the community.

The investigation into Panagiotakis' death has been forwarded to an investigative judge who will determine the next steps in this harrowing case, which has shocked the local population and raised questions about child safety and potential failures in protective services. Public interest in the case remains high, and it is likely to lead to greater scrutiny of how such tragedies can be prevented in the future, especially in the context of familial relationships and mental health issues.
