Mother accused in professor's murder dies by suicide in Greek prison, leaving children in limbo

The tragic case of the children of Polish professor Przemyslaw Jezorski has taken a devastating turn with the suicide of their mother in prison. The 12-year-old twins, who lost their father to murder nearly 11 months ago, remain in a children's care facility. Their mother, who was on trial for allegedly arranging his murder, died by suicide in Korydallos prison, reportedly using a bedsheet.

“

She often wrote notes for the children, telling them she missed them and loved them. They knew she was innocent. I spoke with her 10 minutes before the incident; she didn't show anything different in our communication.

Her lawyer, Alexandros Pasiatas, revealed that she left a note for her children, expressing her love and pride. He stated that she often wrote notes to them, telling them she missed them and loved them, and that the children believed in her innocence. Pasiatas added that she was deeply distressed about not seeing her children and felt her situation was unjust, noting her psychological state had been poor at times.

“

She was very upset about her children, because she hadn't seen them at all. Generally, she had a very difficult life, and all this that was happening seemed unfair to her. Her psychological state was sometimes bad. There were specific elements for her acquittal, and all of that must be revealed.

According to Pasiatas, the twins have been informed of their mother's death. Meanwhile, the professor's brother is traveling to Greece to be with his nephews. The family's lawyer, Michalis Dimitrakopoulos, described the suicide as "sad" and a "tragedy," emphasizing that the children have now lost both parents.

It is a tragedy.

Dimitrakopoulos criticized the "unjustified delay" in a court decision that is meant to determine the children's residence and appoint a permanent guardian. The professor was murdered on July 4, 2025, in Agia Paraskevi, Athens, shortly after returning to Greece to see his children. The prosecution alleges that the mother, along with her then-boyfriend, planned the murder, motivated by disputes over child custody and financial matters related to companies in the United States.

“

The children are still in a care facility because the decision of the Athens Court of First Instance, which will determine the children's place of residence and the final guardian, is being unjustifiably delayed.
