‘I wanted to raise our girl so I staged burglary after killing my wife,' says pilot

THE husband of Caroline Crouch concocted an elaborate hoax that a gang killed his young wife because he was terrified of prison and “wanted to raise his daughter”, police revealed.

Babis Anagnostopoulos, 33, made the confession before appearing in a Greek court yesterday wearing a bulletproof vest. He was charged with murdering the 20-year-old British-born woman.

He was arrested after his story did not stack up.

Data from Caroline’s fitness watch showed her heart had stopped before he said the attack took place.

Under interrogation he cracked, telling officers: “I killed her. I will tell you everything in detail.

“I tied myself up. I did everything because when I realised I killed her, I thought of my child.”
