Leo in SKAI: How the deaths of the three children in Patras are connected

by

The clarification of the case of the deaths of the three little girls in Patras seems to be entering the final stretch.

As he mentioned the president of the Forensic Medicine Society, Grigoris Leon, Speaking to SKAI and the show “Simera”, since the necropsy-necropsy and the histological examinations of the third child have been completed and a re-examination of the toxicological examinations is expected, there is not much left.

“We have three incidents that may or may not be related. The first two seem to are related to the findings, as shown by the histological and toxicological and all the tests, which have been completed. But the causes are being re-evaluated. As for the third death, it may be related in some way to the previous two incidents, but there may be something special. “What has become known is that in the third child, in the middle of the hospitalization, we had an anoxygenemic encephalopathy, an ischemic one in the brain”, he stated characteristically.

He added that in the second case of Georgina, from which a brain sample has been taken, there are lesions due to anoxy anemia, emphasizing that one of the possibilities is suffocation.

Asked if the body can “speak”, Mr. Leon stressed that there is no doubt that your body gives clear findings. The point is to be able to translate them correctly and capture the correct cause of death. ” As he explained, there are deaths that are very difficult to diagnose, especially when there are no clear findings. “For example, suffocating death is not an easily diagnosed death. “We may have some findings that fit, but we need to rule out a number of other factors that could lead to a lack of oxygen.”

But beyond the common findings that led to the death, the president of the medical examiners stated that there are similarities in terms of possible mechanisms. “It is crucial to see for the third child. “For the third child, the encephalopathy due to lack of oxygen, according to the information provided by a publicly treating doctor, must be certified by the testimonies of the doctors and we must wait for the forensic examination”, he noted.

In fact, he stressed that the minor injuries found on the outer airways, in Malena and Iris, one in the nose and the other in the mouth, must be evaluated.

Mr. Leon clarified, however, that medical examiners, especially when there is no evidence from the body to link perpetrators, do not deal with the perpetrators. “We do not have the task of finding out who did this act, if it is ultimately a criminal act. “Our work stops at saying the cause of death, the mechanism of death or the type of death, that is, if it is a criminal act,” he concluded.

On her side, the president of the Athens-Piraeus hospital doctors, Matina Pagoni He stressed that with all the tests that have been done so far, if there was a genetic issue in the three children it would have been seen. “The medical records, the testimonies of the doctors are what will give the final result”, he added.

Respectively, the union police officer, Stavros Balaskas, He told SKAI that the Patras prosecutor’s office, under the suffocating pressure of society, gave it to the police to investigate whether it was a pathological cause or a murder. “I think we have reached the week when all this will be clarified and the case will be closed,” he commented.

“If the investigation continues and if we see signs that there is a criminal act, we will have to do other investigations, in addition to the ones we are already doing, I can not tell you that,” he noted.

He stressed that if this is a crime, it has rightly been characterized as a crime of the century, as in our country we have never seen such a case.
