Husband Arrested for Young Mother Murdered in Athens
Greek police have arrested Charalambos Anagnostopoulos, the 32-year-old pilot who was the husband of the victim Caroline Crouch. According to information from Proto Thema newspaper, law enforcement has sufficient information proving that the murderer of 20-year-old Caroline is her husband.
The evidence comes mainly from the analysis with the help of camera data technology, mobile phones the couple's phones and the victim's biometric watch. Anagnostopoulos, the husband of Crouch, is according to the information available to the police and which are deemed adequate, the killer.
The reversal that brings the pilot from the position of devastated husband and father to the position of the accused for one of the most notorious murder cases of recent years, leaves the public speechless, Proto Thema said.
Available data proving the guilt of the 32-year-old pilot come mainly from the analysis with the help of the technology of the data from the camera, the couple's mobile phones, but also the biometric clock of the 20-year-old mother. The latter showed the real time of death, which did not coincide with what Babis Anagnostopoulos had testified.
However, the countdown started yesterday, when the police had the new data at its disposal and asked Babis Anagnostopoulos to return to Athens from Alonissos to be re-examined.
In order not to show how serious these facts were and to "scare" him, they accepted his request to stay another day in Alonissos, in order to be present at the memorial service for the unfortunate Caroline Krauts, the mother of one year Lydia.
After the memorial service, as police spokesman Apostolos Skrekas made known, in emergency announcements shortly after five- thirty this afternoon, the pilot was picked up by boat and taken to Skiathos and from there by air to Athens.
However, the data that emerged from Babis Anagnostopoulos' mobile phone showed that he had not told the truth: An application on his mobile phone that records the steps, showed that when he claimed to be tied up, he was walking.
Meanwhile, the memory card in the security camera was removed at 1.20 at night, while the "robbers" allegedly entered the house three hours later. The last recording on camera was around 12.30 on the fateful night and shows the pilot sitting with the baby in the living room of the house.
Caroline's biometric clock recorded increased pulses and then no vital signs much earlier than the time the pilot had planned her murder. The couple seems to have been arguing that night and in fact, they allegedly did not get along for months with Caroline being determined to leave with the child.
