Pispirigkou Case: Trial for the Murders of Malena and Irida Postponed to December

The trial of Roula Pispirigkou for the murders of her children, Malena and Irida, has been postponed to December 4, 2026, due to the defense attorney's health issues.

The trial of Roula Pispirigkou, who is facing charges for the murders of her children Malena and Irida, has been rescheduled for December 4, 2026, after the defense attorney experienced health issues, appearing in court with a cane and limping. In the initial trial, Pispirigkou was sentenced to two life imprisonments for these crimes. Additionally, she has also been sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder of her eldest daughter, Georgina, in a separate ruling. This case has garnered significant media attention in Greece due to the tragic circumstances surrounding the deaths of the children and the mother’s alleged involvement. The court proceedings have been closely followed by the public, and the delays in the trial raise concerns regarding the judicial process and the pursuit of justice for the victims. The postponement could further prolong the emotional distress faced by relatives of the deceased children as they await justice. As the new trial date approaches, the public, the media, and advocates for child protection continue to monitor the case, highlighting the importance of accountability in cases of familial violence and the need for thorough judicial proceedings. This case could potentially have broader implications on how such cases are prosecuted in Greece and may influence public opinion and policy regarding child protection laws.
