Woman who confessed to killing infants moved to high-security Korydallos prison

·

Eirini Mourtzoukou, the 25-year-old woman who has confessed to killing at least three infants, has been transferred to the high-security Korydallos Prison in Athens, Greece.

Prior to her transfer on Monday, Mourtzoukou was held overnight in a specially secured section on the 11th floor of the Homicide Division at the General Police Headquarters of Attica (GADA).

Her pretrial detention was ordered on Sunday, following a unanimous ruling by both the investigating magistrate and the public prosecutor, after she submitted a written statement in the western city of Patra.

As she was escorted into a police van bound for prison, a bystander was heard shouting, “Die in there.”

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

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.
