She has been ordered to be held in pre-trial detention, under heightened security measures to prevent her being attacked by other detainees. The case – which has caught the attention of the public in Greece – sparked protests as the suspect was taken to court. The suspect was arrested last week after being found anesthetized on samples of her nine-year-old child who died in January after a long stay in hospital. The drug was not prescribed by the doctors who treated her.

All three brothers died while hospitalized. Police clashed with spectators and journalists in a courthouse in the Greek capital as they made their way to the suspect to the prosecutor’s office to present her defense. The mother was transported under strict security wearing a bulletproof vest under a black hooded jacket. She has denied any wrongdoing and her lawyers have pointed out the possibility of a medical error.
