Eleni Topalodi: “My baby’s screams were tearing the sky apart,” says her mother

The mother of Eleni Topalodi, who was murdered in 2018 in Rhodes, breaks out in demands for justice for her child and recalls the brutal murder of the young student.

“Do they ask for the Areopagus? They have exhausted my child. They beat him, mashed him, strangled him, and rushed him.

The little girl was telling Albanos, “Take me to the hospital,” and they wouldn’t let her look in the mirror because she was covered in blood.

Then they tied her up, dragged her like a punching bag and threw her alive without sympathy and without either of them saying, “What do we do?” My baby’s last words were, “You homeless people, my father will find you,” said Ms. Cola Armotedo, crying, as she spoke on the “Super Caterina” program about the killers and rapists of Eleni Tobalodi.

“I don’t want their apology. They haven’t said a word about losing my child. People don’t have soul cultivation. They don’t have anything. They’ve learned with their money and connections. They have lawyers, they have marches….”

“My baby’s screams were tearing the sky apart,” Eleni’s mother says on the night she was killed.

“No one can bear my pain, only mothers who lost their children,” she says.

“Age is a joke, and the state does nothing.”

“Life is a farce. Tell us how much they cost the life of a lost child. Including the term femicide and familicide in the criminal laws. Her father and I are dead – alive. The state did nothing for this child,” he exploded, demanding that the law be changed and that the life sentence be made life imprisonment.

Finally, Eleni Topalodi’s mother criticized the Greek police, shouting that if they had done their job properly when she went to report her first rape in Rhodes, her daughter would have survived.

Her father criticizes – “Where is this miserable condition of the victims’ families?”

“I laugh when we talk about the presumption of innocence. When the criminal acts, the ways in which our daughter was treated and the torture she received are clear, what is the presumption of innocence that we are talking about? Eleni Topalodi’s father told ERT in reference to the appeal of the decision of the Court of Appeal for those convicted of killing the unfortunate student. who invoke the presumption of innocence and incorrect application of the law because during the trial it was public and opinion was biased against them, while he added characteristically that “these two luminaries were well known in Rhodes society.”

He asked: “Where is this miserable state of the families of the victims? He does a good job and accepts objections and the courts of appeal and the Areopagus of the criminals, but there must be one condition. You, the criminals, pay the amount of all legal costs, to the Areopagians, to the judges, to the families of the victims, and then You accept as the state of appeal, the court of appeal or the Supreme Court. There will be your magic. “It is not for us as Greek taxpayers to pay for a free lawyer for our child’s criminal,” the tragic father added.
