New DNA test results have provided a significant development in the case involving the murdered infant in Kypseli, Athens, confirming that the baby was the biological child of the 43-year-old man and 38-year-old woman facing charges in the case.
According to information that has emerged, genetic testing showed that the 15-year-old, 12-year-old and deceased infant were all biological children of the couple.
The findings contradict the initial claims surrounding the children’s parentage and provide authorities with new evidence as they continue investigating the circumstances surrounding the infant’s death.
The DNA results also indicate that the 9-year-old is the biological child of the 38-year-old woman but not of the 43-year-old man. Authorities are expected to examine the finding alongside the other evidence contained in the case file.
The result is particularly significant because the 38-year-old woman had claimed that all of the children were fathered by the 43-year-old.
What the children knew about the infant
Authorities are also focusing on statements given by the three children as they seek to establish what they knew about the infant’s death and when they learned about it.
The children were interviewed at the Child’s House, in the presence of specialists and child psychologists, with authorities seeking to document as accurately as possible what they remember and know about the case.
According to information available so far, the 15-year-old said she knew that the baby had died and later learned that the body had been placed in a freezer.
The 12-year-old said that at some point he learned that the dead infant was in the freezer.
The 9-year-old, meanwhile, did not know about the existence of the body.
