Rula Pispirigou's Trial Postponed, Appears in Court with Walking Aid

The trial of Rula Pispirigou for the deaths of her two youngest daughters, Iris and Malena, has been postponed until December 4, 2026, due to the defense attorney's unavailability. The defendant's appearance in court caused a stir, as she arrived using a walking stick and limping. Pispirigou was found guilty in the first instance and sentenced to two life sentences for the murders of the two girls. Simultaneously, the trial for the murder of Georgina has been postponed until September 2026. Rula Pispirigou has been diagnosed with lupus, a disease that causes severe pain in the joints and bones, and has lost over 30 kilograms.
