Shock finding of frozen baby in Athens flat
Police raided the flat in Kypseli following a complaint by the flat manager and found the frozen body of a baby in a jar inside a suitcase as the mother was trying to flee the property with two other boys, aged 9 and 12.
A forensic examination later found that the baby boy, who was 8 or 9 months old at the time of his death, had suffered more than ten stab wounds on his back. Police have since been investigating previous residences of the couple in an effort to determine the time of the crime.
The 43-year-old man is reported to have claimed that he is a drug addict and requested to undergo a relevant examination, while the 38-year-old woman, for her part, is reported to have maintained that she was innocent and that she wanted to keep her dead child with her. The 26-year-old Afghan man has reportedly claimed that he knew nothing about the dead baby.
As new arrest warrants were issued for the three suspects following the new charges, the three adults are expected to be taken back to the Athens court on Thursday to give further statements before the prosecutor.
According to sources, the 43-year-old father is also facing charges in another serious case involving pimping. The case file includes several other people who are accused of serious felonies, including rape and pimping, allegedly committed in 2020 and 2021.
