''The imprisoned
Greek pilot who brutally murdered British mum
Caroline Crouch did so to cover his tracks as a drugs runner, her father has claimed.
David Crouch made the explosive claim as he broke his silence on Greek TV saying: “I’ll tell you why he murdered Caroline in front of his child … he was involved with a drugger’s gang.”
The 79-year-old retired engineer told the ANT1 channel that his former son-in-law, Babis Anagnostopoulos, had even explained why he killed his wife – and Caroline’s pet husky Roxy - in a typewritten letter.
“Babis wrote me a letter. Yes he did, and he told his mother as well. If you speak to his mother she’ll tell you what the truth is.”
According to Crouch, who lives with Caroline’s Filipinna-born mother on the Greek island of Alonissos where their daughter is buried, the pilot killed the teenager after she discovered he was trafficking drugs.''
“There was a restaurant that Caroline and Babis used to go to and the man there who owned the restaurant was involved in drugs,” the Briton said.
“He spoke to Babis and he told him that the gang he was involved in needed a helicopter pilot and it was one job for which he’d be paid a lot of money … Babis was very stupid.
"Instead of keeping his mouth shut he told Caroline.
"Now Caroline was a very honest person and said she would not have anything to do with it and if he continued with this drug business she would leave immediately and go to the Philippines.”
