Re: A couple have been arrested for killing their 7-year-old child in January 2017 and concealing its body in the house, police sources said, Athens, Greece.
According to the case file, the crime occurred in the apartment the former couple shared in the suburb of Kypseli. The 33-year-old father, a Polish national, is said to have duck taped his son’s mouth for being noisy, which resulted in the child’s suffocation. The 29-year-old mother was present at the time. In an attempt to hide the body, the two buried it in a makeshift grave made out of bricks and dement.
When the apartment owner evicted the couple, the father put the child’s bones in a toolbox which he later hid in a sofa of the apartment they moved into, in the area. The couple later separated.
Police sources said authorities received a tip-off about the boy’s disappearance and detained the parents on Friday evening. The mother had initially claimed to others that her former husband had taken the child to Poland and disappeared, but during interrogation they both confessed to the crime.
The couple also share an 8-year-old daughter. The two suspects will be led before a prosecutor on Monday.
