The Patras Coroner's Service will resume operating next Monday, with two new forensic pathologists appointed to replace those suspended from duty.
The operation of the entire service had been suspended by order of Justice Minister Giorgos Floridis on July 10, while Patras coroner Andreas Gotsis and the head of the service's secretariat, Stavros Arvanitakis, were suspended from duty a few days later.
They were both responsible for the operation of the service and keeping records of the cases, which were found to be incomplete during a surprise inspection by a team of justice ministry inspectors.
It was also revealed that Gotsis had written the original coroner's report on the two infants that Irene Mourtzoukou later confessed to murdering, as well as a toddler whose death was also linked to the Mourtzoukou case and for whom the final forensic report is still pending. In all three cases, Gotsis had attributed their deaths to natural causes.
