The chronicle of the tragedy

The unimaginable incident happened when the 35-year-old left for work, taking the 5.5-month-old girl with him to drop her off at the nursery, according to police sources. But he never went to kindergarten. After leaving his vehicle in a parking lot with the baby in it, he left for work in a company vehicle for Lefkada.

Hours later the nursery officials contacted the mother to find out if anything had happened to the little girl and she did not go. The mother contacted her husband asking where the child was, and he jumped in the car in fear but it was too late.

He then transferred the unfortunate little girl to the Artas hospital, however, despite the superhuman efforts of doctors and nurses, his death was confirmed.

For the causes of the infant’s death, a necropsy was ordered and he was taken to Ioannina.
