The Death of Her Three Daughters Became a Huge TV Tragedy—Now Mom Is Charged With Triple Homicide
ATHENS—The suspicious deaths of three girls from the same family in just three years has shocked Greek society over the past few months. But what started as a tragic story of an ill-fated young family soon turned out to be one of the most horrible cases of alleged murder the country has seen in recent years.
After months of speculation, Roula Pispirigkou, the 33-year-old mother of the family was charged with killing all three of her daughters, one of whom had survived childhood cancer.
She allegedly suffocated her two younger children, and then police believe she killed her older daughter Georgina by allegedly giving her a fatal dose of Ketamine—originally an anesthetic drug usually used by veterinarians on animals.
