Husband of Caroline Crouch confesses to suffocating her weeks after claiming criminals broke into their home and strangled her

The Greek man said he killed his British wife, Crouch, 20, after she vowed to leave him and take their baby with her.

Babis Anagnostopoulos, 33, admitted to suffocating her to death after more than eight hours of interrogation in the homicide department of Athens' police headquarters.

Babis, a helicopter pilot, had claimed that Albanian criminals broke into his home on Tuesday, May 11, 2021, blindfolded him, tied him up, then beat his wife and strangled her to death. He added that the killers went off with 15,000 Euros in real money and other valuables.

He even granted interviews, pretending to be a grieving husband for over a month. Even after his wife was buried in May, he continued in the pretense.

At his wife's funeral, Babis looked mournful as he carried their daughter.

In a moving eulogy, an emotional Babis said: "I was very lucky that I knew Caroline and that she loved me. I was very lucky for all the moments we shared.

Cops spent weeks searching for the non-existent Albanian criminals. But Babis eventually confessed following interrogation.

"The culprit is her 33-year-old husband who has confessed to the act," the authorities said in a statement released at 9.36 PM local time on Thursday, June 17.

Police have described him as a "top class actor" because of the way he staged the elaborate crime scene and continued pretending as the grieving widower for over a month.

Babis even drowned the family dog and hung its body from a stair banister to blame it on the burglars and strengthen his story, investigators said.

Babis eventually broke down saying: "That night we had been arguing from early on.

"At some point, she threw the child in her cot and she told me to get up and leave the house.

"She pushed me and punched me. My judgement became blurred, I strangled her and then I staged the robbery."

It was discovered the memory card in the security camera of the maisonette the couple shared had also been removed at 1:20am - while he had claimed the thieves broke into.
