Triple infanticide in Greece: mother sentenced to life in prison. In pre-trial detention for two years, Roula Pispirigou was found guilty of premeditated intentional homicide.
She poisoned Georgina by administering ketamine, a substance used mainly in veterinary surgery as an anesthetic and analgesic. The second child, Malena, was initially declared dead of liver failure, and Iris, of cardiac arrest. New assessments carried out after Georgina's suspicious death revealed that they had died of asphyxiation.
