Police investigations into the dead fetus, which was found yesterday Monday in a well in the center of Athens, are ongoing, while the authorities are awaiting the results of the autopsy, which is expected within the day and may not rule out answering some questions.

The timeline of the case

It all started yesterday afternoon when, according to the police, an employee of a blocking company, during work on the drainage system of a building on Solonos Street, where the offices of the NGO “Doctors Without Borders” are located, found a dead fetus.

The employee, he claimed, informed the NGO officials about it, who told him that they would take care of it and place the body in a box.

At approximately 18:30 in the afternoon, the employee of the blocking company went to the police station of Exarchia and informed the police about his gruesome find, while according to police sources he also had photos that confirmed his words.

The police collected the fetus, which was about five months old, late at night.

Officers will examine key figures from offices in the surrounding area to coordinate the next stage of investigations. Among the persons to be examined are a social worker and a gynecologist who work voluntarily in offices located near the place where the fetus was found in a well.

It is being considered that a woman who had moved into the building miscarried and flushed the fetus down the toilet.
