Caroline Crouch's murderer husband 'is receiving love letters'

Caroline Crouch’s murderer husband ‘is receiving bags full of love letters in prison’

• Anagnostopoulos, 34, murdered Brit-born Crouch before staging a crime scene in May 2021
• Prison guards explain they have been left ‘astounded’ by the number of ‘fans’ writing to the former helicopter pilot

The killer husband of murdered Brit mum Caroline Crouch has been receiving ‘bags full’ of love letters in prison, it has been claimed.

Prison guards have reportedly been left ‘astounded’ by the number of ‘fans’ writing to helicopter pilot Babis Anagnostopoulos who brutally strangled Caroline, 19, at their home in Attica, Greece.

The 34-year-old staged a crime scene, where he tied himself up and killed the couple’s dog, Roxy in a bid to throw cops off the scent.

Police who were investigating the crime scene found the couple’s baby daughter, Lydia, beside her mum’s dead body. 

He claimed the ‘robbers’ had suffocated his wife to death – but police discovered later that Anagnostopoulos was the real killer.

The murderer has since begun serving his 27 year prison sentence. 

He is also now attempting to overturn his sentence – an appeal hearing due to take place today has been postponed as his lawyer fell ill. 

The killer, however, is apparently being bombarded with bizarre ‘fan mail’ from female supporters. 

Prison officers are having to sort ‘bags’ of letters for Babis at the high-security jail in Malandrino.

‘We read, as is protocol, all the mail and have been left astounded,’ one guard speaking on condition of anonymity told The Sun.

‘They are written by women, Greek women, who say they are in love with him.

‘They believe he is innocent, that Crouch’s murder wasn’t premeditated and everything happened in the heat of the moment.’

It comes as Anagnostopoulos was taken in front of the court of appeal today in handcuffs before the case was adjourned. 

He is attempting to argue there were ‘mitigating circumstances’ around the brutal murder.

His lawyer, Alexandros Papaioannidis, has previously argued his client is a ‘model prisoner’ who ‘reads a lot and works in the prison canteen’ and should not be punished for a crime ‘that was never premeditated.’

Crouch was subjected to ‘a long and agonising death,’ according to a state coroner who examined her body hours after the incident on May 11 2021.

She was pinned down by the pilot as she slept in the couple’s Athens maisonette,  resisting as she attempted to fight back as he suffocated her for five minutes with a pillow.

Last week, the father of Crouch, David, from Liverpool, explained that his priority was to raise Lydia.

The girl, who is almost three, now lives in the Philippines with the family of Caroline’s half-sister. 

Under a court order Anagnostopoulos’ parents are allowed to speak to her for only one hour a week via Skype or other electronic means.

David told local TV station Mega. ‘I am determined that the monster who killed her mother, as well as those two ridiculous people who are his parents, will never see my granddaughter again.’
