“Babis is a narcissist- He lacks empathy” -What a psychologist testified in the trial for Freshwater

Alkistis Igoumenaki, a doctor, psychiatrist, psychologist and psychotherapist, presented her conclusions from the study of the case file and the emerging psychological profile of Babis Anagnostopoulos to the Mixed Jury Court.

The witness, who has been proposed by the civil suit, referred to elements of “arrogance and possessiveness” found in the accused, who, in her view, has many characteristics of a psychopathic or antisocial disorder, which can lead to outbursts of anger. “There is arrogance and narcissistic disorder, that is, there is a feeling of greatness from controlling the relationship but also a lack of empathy. We see it when he kills the mother of his child without caring that his child will be in pain, when he places the child next to the lifeless body of the mother. It is a very barbaric movement that we encounter in wars. Babies have visual and skin stimuli. When he kills the dog, because the animal was also the child. We also see it from the way he treats Caroline’s mother, how he approaches her at the funeral. We protect a mother who is in pain, we do not make her pay for coffins. We also see it from the way he holds the child at the funeral, 9 months old, for four hours in a funeral that, from what I was informed, the coffin was opened at some point. “He did not need to be there,” the witness stressed. As he noted, all these elements indicate a psychopathic personality: “We also see a search for the admiration of others. He found a minor girl, flying by helicopter over the school. “These are not serious things that a man is looking for in order to build a serious relationship.”

The witness spoke about the way the 34-year-old dealt with his wife’s rejection and intention to divorce.

President: Can the feeling of rejection trigger aggression to an uncontrollable point, does it have the same ability to tame its emotions?

Witness: One can handle it if one wishes. He can control it, but there is a tendency for revenge. The magnitude of revenge varies.

In the opinion of the psychiatrist, there is no panic from the accused, but only handling even with his little girl. “I see the tendency for the child to use. It is abusive to put it on the lifeless mother and sit for four hours at her funeral. The child understands something. The thought is: “I do not care if it hurts. I do not care if the child is burned by the sun, it is my extension, it is mine, me, me. I do not care.” He did not care about anything. The feeling is completely missing. “Nowhere, neither for his wife nor for his child nor for the dog”, said the witness.

As for Caroline, the witness stated that she finds evidence of depression, a phenomenon that – as she pointed out – is common in young mothers who do not have support.

President: What can you say about her personality?

Witness: He had begun to feel the pressure but was unable to cope with the crisis. If she could talk to some people, to her mother, to her friends, maybe she would have been protected, helped. He was afraid to take this step.

President: Why did he not say it anywhere, do you think?

Witness: I think her parents did not agree with the relationship. They just let her. That’s why he was hesitant…

President: What do you know?

Witness: Caroline’s mother told me. They thought she was too small, that she was not ready for such. That is why she hid them from her parents and got married secretly in Portugal. They did not want it yet, they did not have anything against the accused. I guess that was why Caroline did not want to talk.

At the beginning of the proceedings, the defense filed an objection in court in order not to take into account the testimony of witness Eleni Mylonopoulou, as, according to the pilot’s lawyers, she does not have the status of a psychologist and can not interpret behaviors, while she has fallen into contradictions. .
