Witness – “key” in the mysterious case with a victim of Panagiotakis only fifteen months old, breaks his silence exclusively in “Light in the Tunnel” and what he says causes chills.
He himself was present the night before in the house where the tragic incident in Amalada took place.
“I was also there with a friend of mine, who came from Athens, completely by chance,” he told a journalist on the show.
Incited by what he mentioned in the communication that Irini Mourtzoukou was alive with Angeliki Nikolouli on the evening of Friday, October 18, he decided to return the truth.
“The baby was fine”
“I didn’t like what I heard from Irini and Popi on your show at all. The baby was fine last night. He started feeling sick at 01:30 – 02:00. Popi, his mother, was not there at the time. Irini called her because the baby was vomiting. The next morning around 09:30 I spoke to my friend and asked her about the baby as well. “It’s fine” he tells me, “he’s playing in the tag” and he shut me down because he wanted to leave to catch the bus. After some time, Popi takes me and tells me “we lost Panagiotakis”.
His description of the fatal moment, based on what the child’s mother revealed to him, is terrifying.
He told him the following:
“Irene was in the living room and the baby was next to the pram crushed, his head turned and his tongue sticking out.”
“We all wonder how it is possible that Irene did not hear or bring something near the child and the mother saw everything as soon as she entered the room,” said the friend of the child’s mother.
“The child was already dead, her cousin told me who carried him, the only one who was in shock and could not handle him.”
Regarding Irini’s relationship with Panagiotakis’ mother and the attitude of the two women, he said:
“There was jealousy and fuss on Irini’s side. Everything I heard (in the interview they gave on your show) is a lie. You can’t lose a baby and go out to bouzoukis and dance on bars for nine days.”
