The case of the Paleochristian family in Corinthia has taken on thriller proportions with police reportedly looking into the possibility of incest.
As the president of the southeastern Attica police officers, George Kalliakmanis, told MEGA on Monday morning, as the 45-year-old father of the family is expected to be brought before the prosecutor today, “one of the children is pregnant and she did not say who the father is.
The police will ask for a DNA test. We don’t know if there is incest, it has to be investigated.”
The 46-year-old father of the early Christian family in Corinthia, who is being held at the Corinthian Security, was arrested on Sunday for disobeying the law and failing to comply with the compulsory attendance of his three minor children at school, and at one point allegedly said the children were in a safe place near his mother-in-law, which has not been confirmed so far.
At the same time, the 15-year-old was taken to the Children’s Hospital on Sunday afternoon, following a prosecutor’s order, in a conventional police vehicle accompanied by the 19-year-old friend of the family.
Authorities are continuing to search for the rest of the family’s children, who are believed to have fled after returning to the burrow where they were staying. Searches to locate the children have extended outside Corinth and are focused on Arta and Lamia.
Police are also investigating the circumstances of the children’s birth.
The couple absconded with the children
The couple after the developments and the prosecutor’s order to check the living conditions in the community had prepared for the possibility of control by the Greek Police (ELAS) and had taken care in the night of Saturday to flee the minor children together with the mother who is the grandmother of one of them.
“We are an early Christian community, along the lines of the Old Believers in Russia, or the Amish in America, who deny technological progress and live traditionally, like the early Christians,” the father told The STAR the other day.
We are all brothers and sisters,” the 45-year-old added, speaking to Star.
According to him, there are four such communities across Greece.
“We have been here for four years.”
At the same time, his wife showed a burrow they have dug with a length of up to 30 meters. The burrow leads to a chapel-like area.
“It’s a place of worship, they broke our door,” she said, speaking to Alpha, pointing to the entrance and saying that “it leads to a larger space that has the sanctuary, a dome.”
There is even a ventilation system in the cave “so that the images don’t get mouldy” from the moisture that the earth gives off.
