Irene Moschones, 51, appeared before Melbourne magistrates court on Sunday charged with kidnapping and unlawful imprisonment after 97-year-old Dimitra Pavlopoulou was taken from her Clarinda nursing home on Saturday. It’s alleged the 51-year-old believes Pavlopoulou is her mother, even though investigators have established Moschone’s mother died in 2013. Eales said Moschones believes “there was a conspiracy against her committed by a group of people to get her inheritance from her mother”. Moschones has also been visiting nursing homes in a bid to try to find her “real” mother, police said. “She requires psychiatric assessment due to her delusional thoughts towards the victim and her thought processes of the victim being her mother,” Eales said.
