Her worst nightmare is being lived by the mother of two children who were lost so prematurely because of trochoid in Agrinio.

Although 18-year-old Haritini fought a battle in hospital, she breathed her last yesterday, while her brother was also killed in the accident.

“My child fought incredibly hard; she was so strong. My life revolved around my children. I know how I raised them and how hard I fought. We are devastated; there is nothing left,” said the heartbroken mother from Agrinio, who lost both her children in a tragic traffic accident.

Police in the western city of Agrinio are investigating an explosion that took place on a pedestrian street during the night.

No one was injured in the blast.

The blast was caused by an improvised device comprising three gas canisters, a plastic bottle and a packet of firelighters.

It is not known who placed the device on the street.
