The attitude of Bambi Anagnostopoulos after his verdict and sentence was pronounced, commented Thanasis Harmanis, counsel for the family of the unfortunate Caroline, who was murdered by her husband in Sweet Nera, on 11 May 2021.
"His reactions were the same as a defendant who was punished with 10 days in jail for a traffic violation. He has no empathy," Harmanis told ANT1 television.
He went on to say that this follows from his request to acknowledge that the murder was committed in a drunken rage, with Harmanis noting that "I told the court that 'if you acknowledge a drunken rage with a sleeping victim, it will be the first time in history that this has been done.'"
Counsel also referred to the woman who had sought the death penalty for the perpetrator of the killing and had delivered a eulogy at Caroline's funeral service, who later defended Bambi Anagnostopoulos, saying that she "made sure to avoid the suffering of the audience, as she knew that I knew many things, since I have good relations and many acquaintances in Alonissos".
"He made the decision to end Caroline the night Caroline announced to him that their relationship was over. Caroline, that night, was looking for a hotel room," Mr. Harmanis also said, noting that "Caroline was afraid. She had written it in her diary that she would not let her go just like that."
As for the feelings of Caroline's parents about the court's decision, their lawyer said that "they feel a sense of relief, but their child is not coming back. Susanna was forced at 60 years to become a small mother and her big anxiety is how to raise the child so that she will not have problems in the future. The child already has problems, in his subconscious it is recorded that he was lying on his mother's lifeless body, freezing as time went by."
"Experts say that it is best that Babis Anagnostopoulos never meets his child because he will create problems for Lydia, even if she is an adult, but we will make sure that we follow medical dictates in this," he stressed. Harmanis, adding that "when we have something important, we will inform public opinion, both Greek and British, which was so brutally tortured by the accused for 37 days."
