Roula Pispirigou, who was already sentenced to life in prison for the 2022 murder of her 9-year-old daughter, Georgina, was found guilty on Tuesday, March 18, of killing her two other children, Malena, 3, and Iris, 6 months.
The 35-year-old from Patra was sentenced to two additional life terms after a year-long trial.
Prosecutors argued that Pispirigou was “methodical and calculating,” driven by an obsessive fixation on her husband, Manos Daskalakis.
Prosecutor Vassiliki Dimopoulou stated, “She suffocated her children so that she could keep her husband close.”
Malena died in 2019 while being treated for leukaemia, Iris was suffocated in 2021, and Georgina died in 2022 from what was initially believed to be cardiac arrest.
Dimopoulou also criticised the forensic examiners for their negligence, claiming their “sloppy and indifferent” investigation allowed Pispirigou to evade justice for years.
Pispirigou’s appeal for Georgina’s murder conviction is scheduled for May 5.
