According to the forensic examiner, the infant who was found dead inside a suitcase in an apartment in Kypseli was a boy between 8 and 9 months old. However, so far it has not been possible to determine exactly when he was murdered.

The murder was uncovered through the forensic examination, during which the medical examiner found at least 10 stab wounds on the infant’s back. The latest information indicates that he had been attacked with a knife.

Following the forensic findings, the Greek police (ELAS) are preparing a criminal case for homicide against those arrested at the apartment in Kypseli.

As part of the investigation, the process of questioning the suspects will begin today. The examination of the three minors who were in the home — a 15-year-old girl and two boys aged 9 and 12 — is also pending. They will be interviewed through the procedure provided by the “Child’s House,” in the presence of specialist child psychologists.

As ELAS spokesperson Konstantia Dimoglidou stated on Tuesday morning, “none of those arrested has explained the circumstances in which the infant was found, while the family says that he was born in a maternity hospital, without providing any further details.”

The 43-year-old’s chilling statements

Attempting to explain what happened, the 43-year-old Greek man who has been arrested — for the time being, on a felony charge relating to drug trafficking and a misdemeanor concerning the failure to report the discovery of a dead person — reportedly told police, among other things, that the baby cried constantly and spoke about his wife’s condition.

At the same time, he claimed that the hospital had switched their baby and given them another infant, whom he described as “possessed by Satan.”

“The baby cried all the time, and my wife was depressed. They switched our baby at the maternity hospital and gave us another one who was possessed by Satan, and as soon as he died, our house became calm,” he reportedly told police, according to sources.

Questions surrounding sexually transmitted infections in the children

It is recalled that two of the children found in the apartment — the 15-year-old girl, who is pregnant, and the 9-year-old boy — were found to have sexually transmitted infections. Ms. Dimoglidou said that “an investigation is being conducted into how they contracted these infections.”

Police sources said that suitcases containing sexual items were also found in the Kypseli apartment. The three children had previously been taken to a children’s hospital in 2025 after they were found wandering alone and unaccompanied in the street.
