Eirini Mourtzoukou, 25, was remanded in custody on Saturday, July 12, after confessing to the murders of three infants during a two-hour testimony before a judge in Patra.

According to her lawyer, she took full responsibility for the crimes.

Arrested last week, Mourtzoukou faces charges of serial intentional homicide and attempted murder, including the suspected suffocation of an adult friend.

She is expected to be transferred to Korydallos Prison in Athens.

The case has drawn national attention, with authorities linking her to four infant deaths between 2021 and 2024, including her two children and the child of a friend in Amaliada.
