Developments are rapidly unfolding around the death case of 19-year-old Myrto in Kefalonia, with her family demanding answers about the circumstances under which they lost their child. The parents and sister are devastated and denounce abandonment while demanding justice, simultaneously appealing to society for respect.
Kefalonia: Sister of 19-year-old Myrto lashes out over critical comments
“I don’t know what the case file contains and I can’t make accusations just because I’m hurt, but there is a crime, a mistake, a situation that is terrible” she said characteristically and added: “Is your problem to sit and comment under social media posts about whether this girl had lip fillers? That she was plastic? That she went out and partied? Is that the problem? Or that there are people who abandoned her and she died? You should be ashamed. We sit and give importance to things that right now we should be ignoring. We sit and give value to people whose souls exist only to spread mud“.
Visibly distressed, Myrto’s sister said on the “Truths with Zina” show: “I want to plead, if not to the whole world, to the local community here, Kefalonia, which is the place that maybe I didn’t grow up in because I was in Athens, but it’s the place I love and praise when I go there, please, from deep within my soul, show a little respect, if not to the event, to the result this event has had. A person was lost, a 19-year-old soul. Stop exploiting the what and how to create a moment of value in your lives. Please, I beg you.
I understand that some people from their homes, perhaps have gotten used to not looking at the depth of a problem, and focusing around the edges to say something clever and get a bravo, a like, or I don’t know what. And they spread mud, to feel that something exists in their lives, that their lives have meaning. I’ve been tired my whole life. What does the father do, what does the mother do, what does the sister do, why does she have nails, why does she have lips, why did she wear mini skirts. Is that the problem? How the child was and how she dressed? Is that the problem we have to face right now? I don’t know what the case file contains and I can’t make accusations just because I’m hurt, but there is a crime, a mistake, a situation that is terrible. We all have children, and your problem is to sit and comment under social media posts about what? That this girl had lip fillers? That she was plastic? That she went out and partied? Is that the problem? Or that there are people who abandoned her and she died?
You should be ashamed. We sit and give importance to things that right now we should be ignoring. We sit and give value to people whose souls exist only to spread mud, because I’m tired at 52 years old of hearing mud. What did my father do, what did my mother do, what did Myrto’s mom do, what did Myrto do, but you don’t look at what they did to Myrto, you don’t look at what they’re doing to your children, you don’t look at what’s happening in this rotten society“.
A short time later, the sister of 19-year-old Myrto from Argostoli also spoke on Alpha’s news bulletin where she demanded that those responsible for the young woman’s death pay. “Those at fault must pay” she emphasized characteristically.
Kefalonia: Parents of 19-year-old Myrto demand answers
The 19-year-old’s parents also spoke on the same show. The mother described, in a state of deep anguish, the final moments before the tragedy and raised crucial questions about responsibilities. “I want them to explain to me how this happened to my child, why they threw her away and what they gave her. And of course they must be punished. So other children can be spared” she says. “She told me she was going out with… I told her, “go out my little one”. At two o’clock I sent her a message: “My little Myrto, I love you so much. Be careful my life”. She tells me “mom, I love you too”” she adds. She insists there was a possibility to save the 19-year-old: “My little child would be alive now. If only they had made a phone call. If only they had left her on the road…“.
For his part, the father makes particular reference to how his daughter ended up at that location: “How could my daughter imagine, an eighteen-year-old innocent child… They came with a plan. A premeditated and planned crime”.
