ATHENS, Greece (AP) — A Greek woman accused of killing her hospitalized 9-year-old daughter has been ordered held in pre-trial prison custody, under enhanced protection measures to prevent her from being attacked by other inmates. Earlier Monday the 33-year-old suspect was led under heavy police guard to an Athens court for an arraignment, as screaming onlookers hurled insults and tried to assault her. Authorities are also investigating the deaths of the suspect’s two other daughters in 2019 and 2021. The woman has denied any wrongdoing. She was arrested last week after an anesthetic drug was found in tissue samples of her 9-year-old who died in January following a lengthy stay in the hospital.
