The girl’s neighbor will first sit on the bench of the defendants. He is accused of intentional murder, committed in a calm mental state, arson in order to harm health, attempted rape and seduce a minor who has not reached the age of 14.
At today's hearing, where the terrible events experienced by the girl will be considered, her parents will be first testified. For many years they tirelessly fought to reveal the truth, tells CNN GREECE.
On September 23, 2011, their daughter was found with burns covering 80% of the body, on the porch of an apartment building, where the girl lived with her parents and a younger brother. By an ambulance, it was transported to the main state hospital of Nikia (γενικό κρατικό νοσοκομείο νίκαιας), and then to the children's hospital “Ag. Sofia ”(“ η αγία σοφία ”), where after 13 days it died.
At first, the death of a minor was explained by suicide, due to the manuscript note found by the house. The case was terminated, but the parents filed a request for its resumption and conduct an additional investigation. The case materials were extracted, and during the new investigation new investigative actions were carried out. Now they were aimed at establishing involvement in the crime of a neighbor, against whom, ultimately, they opened a criminal case. The indictment says:
“There was a balcony in the defendant’s house with a direct access to a minor balcony. As follows from the testimony of witnesses, he repeatedly harassed the girls in the period preceding the crime.
On the stairwell, as soon as the man saw a warmed body of a minor, he immediately recognized Zenaid, while even her parents could not identify the child, except by the nails and earrings that she wore.
The defendant from the very beginning claimed that the girl herself had a fire, and he said to her family and relatives that he was trying to put out the fire with his hands, so they were wrapped in bandages. After the incident and during the hospitalization of a minor, the accused came to her house every day, persistently asking if the victim told the police. ”
The defendant, who did not plead guilty, denied the accusations against him and claimed, contrary to his previous statements that he did not recognize the minor when he saw her burnt, and that his hands were not burned at all, because there was no fire. He also claimed that his relationship with the child’s family was purely formal.
Years later, the story of a girl, who after an attempt, was revealed sexual violence I tried to escape, was doused with turpentine and caught fire from a lit lighter thrown into it, as a result of which it burned alive.
