Anagnostopoulos trial: Suffocating death in 5 minutes for Caroline, the medical examiner testified

Her belief that there was no fight before him Caroline’s deathsubmitted to MOD the medical examiner Chara Spiliotopoulos which was found in crime scene with police officers rushing for the so-called robbery.

The witness described in court the image she saw entering the maisonette and stressed that the first findings from the victim were clear about the cause of death: “The mechanism of death was obvious. There was blood on his face and he was swollen. He had suffocating spots, a characteristic finding in such deaths. Swelling of the lips requires pressure and force. It is not done with just a pillow. The image I made was that someone put their right hand in their mouth and maybe this abrasion was caused by a fingernail. There are no other types of injuries. No one had grabbed this person by the arm. I believe that there was no fight before death. “There were no defensive points,” the medical examiner stressed.

For the critical elements that emerged from Caroline’s watch and the pulses recorded by the witness stated: “The brain can withstand suffocating death for about 2-3 minutes. After he dies whenever he survives the person will be in a difficult situation. Then the organs stop and finally the heart. “In my report I say that death occurred shortly after 4 and certainly not after 5. I have an estimate that death may have occurred roughly within five minutes.”

Chairman: At a rate of 50-60, what was the condition of the victim?

Witness: Corresponds to a state of rest, ie sleep. What struck me is that from 60 tightens it goes to 90. Something has happened there.

The witness ruled out the possibility that the death was caused by a tight embrace, because then, as she said, “it should last a few minutes and cause injuries that we did not find”.

For the accused, the witness stressed: “It bothered us that all the injuries were very thin, they were small in thickness. They were barely discernible. That is, the binding was not tight. It has to do not with the duration, but with how tight it was “.

Prosecutor: Did he bite her lips?

Witness: It’s not from stress. It is a blow, not a bite.

Referring to Caroline’s dog that was found hanging from the inside staircase, the medical examiner spoke of an “extreme picture” of something “unprecedented that I saw and that I have committed many crimes.” This smell of blood ο animal killed in this way I have never seen. They usually shoot them… here the front legs of the dog were on the wall as if trying to hold on… I do not know what to say “

Civil suit: So was the animal tortured?

Witness: As much as the girl.
