Palaio Faliro: Mother Charged with Intentional Homicide of Three-Year-Old

The mother of the three-year-old found dead in Palaio Faliro faces serious charges. She has been charged with intentional homicide in a calm mental state and domestic dangerous bodily harm.

According to the Athens Court of First Instance, the charges concern homicide against a minor family member, a felony, and domestic bodily harm against a family member unable to resist.

A taxi driver testified that he transported the mother and her two older children from Poseidonos Avenue. The taxi driver stated that the woman was wet and playing with her mobile phone, while the children were sleeping. He stated that he was shocked when he learned about her actions.

The forensic report, according to forensic expert Dimitris Galenteris, reveals evidence of criminal activity. Water and sand were found in the child's lungs, indicating drowning on a beach. In addition, injuries were found on the child's face.

The mother, of Algerian origin, allegedly claimed that the child was injured in the bathroom and, fearing, transported her to the sea. She had previously been involved with the authorities in 2022 for endangering a minor.

The two older children are expected to be transferred to a juvenile protection facility.
