  • A 25-year-old mother and her 27-year-old partner have been remanded in custody in Chania, Greece, on suspicion of attempting to murder her 3-year-old daughter.
  • The couple claims the child's injuries resulted from an accident, but authorities are investigating the incident as attempted homicide.
  • Both the mother and her partner have prior convictions for offenses related to illegal entry and false testimony.

A 25-year-old mother and her 27-year-old partner are in custody in Chania, Greece, facing charges of attempted murder against the woman's 3-year-old daughter. The child remains in critical condition in the intensive care unit of PAGNI hospital.

The couple appeared before authorities on Saturday and denied the accusations, insisting that the child's severe injuries were the result of an accident. However, investigators are pursuing the case as an attempted homicide.

This development follows previous legal troubles for both individuals. The 27-year-old Pakistani national was previously sentenced to three years in prison without suspension for illegal entry into Greece. Just one day prior, the 25-year-old mother received a similar three-year sentence, also without suspension, for providing false testimony. The circumstances surrounding the child's injuries are under intense scrutiny as the investigation continues.
