Roula Pispirigkou: Appearing with a cane at the Court of Appeals, the trial was postponed
Roula Pispirigkou appeared with a cane during her transport to the Athens Mixed Jury Court of Appeals, where her trial concerning the murders of her two younger daughters was postponed until December 4, 2026.
Roula Pispirigkou was brought from prison to the Athens Mixed Jury Court of Appeals, where she appeared with a cane for her trial regarding the murders of her daughters, Malena and Iris. The hearing was postponed due to a scheduling conflict with her defense attorney, Vasso Pantazi, to December 4, 2026. This case follows a complex legal saga surrounding Pispirigkou, who is currently serving multiple life sentences for the murders of her three daughters.
It is important to note that Pispirigkou has already been found guilty in a lower court for the murders of all three of her daughters, resulting in life sentences for each of the homicides. The upcoming hearings in September will address the murder of her youngest daughter, Georgina, prior to the scheduled appeal for Malena and Iris’s deaths in December. Pispirigkou’s case has attracted substantial media attention and public scrutiny, reflecting broader societal concerns regarding child safety and the legal system’s handling of such severe allegations.
The postponement of her trial signifies not only the delays often encountered in the legal process but also highlights the contentious nature of the case itself. As the legal proceedings unfold, they will continue to draw interest and raise questions about both the accountability of caregivers and the judicial system in addressing such tragic events.
