A helicopter pilot who murdered his British wife and tried to blame her death on burglars in a case that outraged Greece has launched an appeal, saying he regretted the crime and it was committed in the heat of the moment.
Nearly two years to the day after the death of Caroline Crouch, her Greek husband’s attempt to reduce his 27-year life sentence started at an appeals court trial in Athens. Babis Anagnostopoulos, 35, told the tribunal on Monday that although the murder had filled him with shame, it had not been premeditated.
