These two perpetual chains are added to the one that Pispirigu received less than a year ago for the murder of his daughter Georgina, the eldest of the nine -year -old sisters.
The issuance of the sentence, this Tuesday, has ended One of the most media and spooky cases of the country in recent decades, as well as to a trial that, due to its great complexity, has prolonged more than twelve months. Finally, the magistrates supported the argument of the prosecutor, who claimed that the convicted person acted by the obsession and jealousy towards Daskalakis, father of the girls, “to keep her husband nearby”, and that she committed the three crimes in a “meticulous and calculator” way.
The prosecutor of the case, Vasilikí Dimopulu, has denounced the alleged negligence of forensic doctors who investigated the deaths of the girls, which delayed the presentation of charges against Pispirigu. In addition, the Prosecutor’s Office is analyzing the reports of five forensic to clarify a possible crime of false testimony.

Georgina had also been admitted to the same hospital in April 2021 after suffering convulsions that left her tetraplectéjica.
During the trial for Georgina’s murder, the judges determined that Pispirigu would have tried, without success, kill the girl in 2021 and that she took advantage of the new entry in 2022 to poison her with ketamine, a sedative commonly used in veterinary clinics and that the defendant had bought online. According to research, Malena died due to liver failure And, although at first it was thought that little Irida had died due to cardiac arrest, a subsequent study revealed that the baby had been suffocated with a handkerchief.
