Son of Eleni Papadopoulou Remanded in Custody Over Her Murder

The 60-year-old son of Eleni Papadopoulou has been remanded in custody following his testimony regarding the murder of his 87-year-old mother. The case, initially treated as an accident, has resurfaced with new evidence, including toxicological tests and the discovery of flammable material. According to the indictment, the 87-year-old died of asphyxiation while under the influence of a sedative, before the fire broke out. The accused denies the charges, maintaining his initial claim of an accident. Authorities believe the fire was the final stage of a planned criminal act.
