Muertes sospechosas y una confesión: la historia de la mujer que asesinó a cuatro bebés y conmocionó a Grecia

Los médicos del hospital pediátrico “Agia Sofía” de Atenas presentían que algo no estaba bien. Una beba de apenas dos meses había entrado al centro de salud sin indicios previos de una enfermedad grave, pero murió de forma repentina.
El informe preliminar indicó que podía ser un posible episodio epiléptico, pero los signos físicos en el cuerpo señalaban hacia otra cosa: una asfixia. Es por eso que el equipo decidió elevar un informe detallado a la fiscalía.

La madre estaba con la beba en el hospital. Había llegado angustiada, pidió ayuda desesperada y luego se mostró errática: lloraba, gritaba, pero después se volvía fría y distante.
Cuando los investigadores empezaron a buscar antecedentes, descubrieron que esa mujer ya había perdido otra hija hace poco más de un año. También había estado presente cuando murieron el bebé de una amiga y su propia hermana, años atrás.
La mujer era Irini Mourtzoukou, de 25 años. Lo que al principio parecía una tragedia personal, pronto se convirtió en una causa que conmocionó a Grecia. Hoy está detenida y acusada de haber matado a cuatro bebés: sus dos hijas, su hermana menor y el hijo de una amiga.
Muertes sospechosas y una confesión
La primera muerte ocurrió en 2014, cuando Mourtzoukou tenía 14 años. Su hermana menor, de un año y medio, falleció en su casa, en la ciudad de Argos. El diagnóstico fue neumonitis intersticial, una inflamación pulmonar, por lo que nadie sospechó de ella.
Años después, en su confesión, la mujer dijo que la había asfixiado con una almohada “después de una discusión familiar”.
En febrero de 2021, el hijo de una amiga murió mientras ella lo cuidaba. Luego, en junio de 2022, su primera hija, de solo 19 días, también falleció.
En octubre del año siguiente, su segunda hija, de dos meses, murió en el hospital de Atenas. En todos los casos, las muertes se atribuyeron a causas naturales: convulsiones, neumonitis, problemas respiratorios. Ninguno de los médicos que intervinieron notó signos de violencia, aunque tampoco se realizaron autopsias.

Sin embargo, luego de la última muerte, los forenses del hospital Agia Sofía detectaron marcas compatibles con asfixia. Esa observación, sumada al comportamiento extraño de la madre, activó todas las alarmas.
De esta manera, la fiscalía de Patras inició una investigación y logró destapar una secuencia de muertes que no podía ser casual. Por este motivo, se reabrieron expedientes, ordenaron pericias complementarias y entrevistaron a más de 80 personas del entorno de Mourtzoukou.
En todas las situaciones, las víctimas eran bebés, todos murieron bajo su cuidado y siempre hubo un diagnóstico ambiguo.
La mujer fue detenida el 7 de julio en un hotel de Atenas, cuando estaba con su abogado, y no opuso resistencia. Mourtzoukou confesó sus crímenes al ser detenida. (Foto: In Cyprus).
En cuanto llegó a la comisaría, pidió declarar de inmediato, se quebró y confesó los crímenes con una frase que marcó el tono de toda la causa: “Me desconectaba. Discutía con mi madre y algo se apagaba en mi cabeza. Después no recordaba nada. Lo lamentaba, pero ya era tarde”.
También admitió que había intentado asfixiar a su expareja durante una discusión. En su testimonio, dijo que sentía que “algo tomaba el control de su cuerpo”.
Su madre explicó que Mourtzoukou sufrió abusos en la infancia, abandonó la escuela y tuvo varios episodios de inestabilidad emocional. Además, asistió a una institución educativa especial, recibió apoyo psicológico intermitente y estuvo medicada por lapsos cortos. Sin embargo, nunca se la diagnosticó con una patología concreta. Irini Mourtzoukou quedó detenida el 7 de julio mientras estaba en un hotel de Atenas. Poco después, confesó sus crímenes. (Foto: Protothema).
El caso aún está bajo la etapa de investigación, mientras Mourtzoukou sigue detenida en Patras. La defensa pedirá que se le realice una pericia psiquiátrica completa, con el argumento de que no era consciente de sus actos.
Los fiscales sostienen que hubo planificación, patrones repetitivos y frialdad. Incluso, creen que puede haber más víctimas y ya investigan la muerte de otro bebé, ocurrida en agosto de 2024, que también estuvo bajo su cuidado.

El Ministerio de Salud griego anunció la apertura de sumarios administrativos y una revisión del sistema forense, luego de que se diera a conocer el caso.
En los medios televisivos locales circulan viejas entrevistas en las que Mourtzoukou pedía justicia por la muerte de su hija y culpaba a los médicos. Nadie se imaginaba que, detrás de esa imagen vulnerable, se escondía una joven capaz de matar.

Trump threatens Hamas if Gaza ceasefire collapses as JD Vance to visit Israel

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
As it was announced that Vice President JD Vance would visit Israel, President Donald Trump once again warned Hamas, saying the U.S.-brokered Gaza truce must hold, and issued another blunt warning to the terrorist group.
During a White House meeting with Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese on Monday, Trump warned, «We’re going to eradicate them. If we have to, they’ll be eradicated. And they know that,» he told reporters, and stressed the deal’s broad backing — «59 countries that agreed to the deal» — while insisting the ceasefire remains in place and warning that any further violence would be met with decisive action.
While details of Vance’s trip to Israel have yet to be announced, Washington’s diplomacy is extending beyond Jerusalem, as U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner were expected to travel to Egypt from Israel for talks with Hamas representatives, underscoring a push to move from preserving the ceasefire toward negotiating the more fraught next phase.

At Monday’s meeting with the Australian pm, Trump was asked by a reporter whether the U.S. would put boots on the ground, Trump said his administration does not plan to deploy troops and that other countries — and Israel itself — could act if needed.
«We don’t need to, because we have many countries, as you know, signed on to this deal,» he said. «We’ve had countries calling me when they saw some of the killing with Hamas, saying we’d love to go in and take care of the situation ourselves. In addition, you have Israel — they would go in, in two minutes. If I asked him to go in, I could tell him, go in and take care of it. But right now, we haven’t said that. We’re going to give it a little chance, and hopefully there will be a little less violence.»
He added a blunt warning about Hamas’ capacity and support. «But right now, you know, they’re violent people. Hamas has been very violent, but they don’t have the backing of Iran anymore… They have to be good, and if they’re not good, they’ll be eradicated — because absolutely we can, and we have the capacity to do so.»
The comments came as senior U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner met with Israeli leaders to shore up the fragile, Trump-brokered, 20-step ceasefire plan after a weekend flare-up. Hamas terrorists killed two Israeli soldiers, prompting Israeli strikes against the terror group. Despite the violence, both Israel and Hamas publicly recommitted to the truce.

HAMAS ACCEPTS TRUMP PEACE PLAN ENDING 2 YEARS OF WAR IN GAZA, RETURNING HOSTAGES
On the ground, the IDF took custody of the coffin of another deceased hostage. A joint IDF–ISA statement asked the public to «act with sensitivity and wait for the official identification, which will first be provided to the families,» while adding that, «Hamas is required to uphold the agreement and take the necessary steps to return all the deceased hostages.» Israeli officials say Hamas could hand over six more bodies immediately out of the 15 still believed in Gaza, though some remains may be impossible to recover amid widespread destruction.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, speaking in the Knesset, struck a hard line while stressing close U.S.–Israel coordination. He warned the fighting was far from over and said violations would carry a «very heavy price,» while praising the «unprecedented closeness» with Washington.

Separately, the IDF said Southern Command troops have begun marking a so-called yellow line inside Gaza — 3.5-meter concrete barriers topped by yellow poles placed roughly every 200 meters — to establish «tactical clarity on the ground» as part of the ceasefire arrangement. The military said the marking will continue «in the coming period» as forces work to remove threats and defend Israeli civilians.

Trump admin agencies coordinating to expose Biden admin’s ‘prolific and dangerous’ weaponization of government

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
EXCLUSIVE: Trump administration agencies are working to expose the Biden administration’s «prolific and dangerous weaponization of government,» Fox News Digital has learned.
The Interagency Weaponization Working Group (IWWG) is made up of officials from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, the Justice Department, the FBI, the CIA and more.
Officials told Fox News Digital that Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard initiated the Interagency Weaponization Working Group, which has been meeting biweekly since April to «share information, coordinate, and execute.»

DOJ TASK FORCE FINDS NUMEROUS INSTANCES OF ANTI-CHRISTIAN GOVERNMENT BIAS UNDER BIDEN
«The American people made a clear choice when they elected President Trump — to stop the Biden administration’s prolific and dangerous weaponization of government agencies against the American people and the Constitution,» Gabbard told Fox News Digital. «I stood up this working group to start the important work of interagency coordination under President Trump’s leadership to deliver accountability.»
She added: «True accountability is the first step toward lasting change.»
Officials told Fox News Digital the group was created to streamline information sharing across the government in support of the Trump executive order.

«Joe Biden’s Department of Justice targeted President Trump and anyone close to him, prosecuted pro-life advocates, treated parents at school board meetings as domestic terrorists, and destroyed public trust in federal law enforcement,» Attorney General Pam Bondi told Fox News Digital.
GABBARD FIRES ‘DEEP STATE’ HEADS OF NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE COUNCIL TO ROOT OUT ‘POLITICIZATION OF INTEL’
«Under President Trump, we are working every day alongside our partners to end weaponization and restore one tier of justice for all,» Bondi said.
Meanwhile, FBI Director Kash Patel told Fox News Digital that, «for years, Biden’s DOJ turned federal law enforcement into a political weapon.»

«Going after President Trump, pro-life Americans, and parents at school boards while letting real criminals run wild,» Patel told Fox News Digital. «Under Preisdent Trump, we’ve ripped that agenda out by the roots.»

Patel added: «We’re restoring equal justice under the law, one standard, one mission: Protect the American people.»
Officials involved pointed Fox News Digital to President Trump’s executive order, which says interagency coordination is needed to «ensure accountability for the previous administration’s weaponization of the federal government against the American people.»
GABBARD ESTABLISHES NEW INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY TASK FORCE TO RESTORE TRANSPARENCY
The executive order had directed Gabbard, in consultation with the heads of other appropriate departments and agencies within the intelligence community, to «take all appropriate action to review the activities of the intelligence community over the last four years and identify any instances» of the weaponization of government.
Officials told Fox News Digital that the interagency group is «working to undo the Biden administration’s whole-of-government approach to abuse the powers of government against the American people.»
«The weaponization of government against Americans did not happen in one agency, one time,» an official explained. «It happened repeatedly over the duration of the Biden administration.»

«That’s why, in order to depoliticize and deweaponize the government, it is important to understand what agencies carried out, what roles, and why,» the official continued. «The IWWG is essential for coordinating across agencies.»
But officials said the media has attempted to «negatively spin lawful oversight and accountability» by claiming it is a way for the Trump administration to weaponize the government against its political opponents.

«The irony is, accusing the Interagency Weaponization Working Group of targeting the president’s political opponents is classic projection and could not be further from the truth,» an official said.
The official said that there is «no targeting of any individual person for retribution.»

«IWWG is simply looking at available facts and evidence that may point to actions, reports, agencies, individuals, and more who illegally weaponized the government in order to carry out political attacks,» the official said.
«The only people who fear accountability are the ones who never expected to face it,» the official continued. «Oversight is not the problem—abuse of power is.»
