Shocking evidence about Caroline Crouch's lifestyle next to Bambi Anagnostopoulos was introduced in her testimony today at the accused pilot's trial, a neighbor of the couple in their condominium in Sweet Nera.
The witness said the 20-year-old girl was locked up in the house, and described the accused as a manipulative husband. In fact, the 34-year-old pilot asked the witness questions mainly about whether she had noticed anything different in his character "other than love and affection" towards both his 20-year-old murdered wife and the animals he cared for.
In fact, Babis Anagnostopoulos asked the witness why she had hosted him at her home for a month and a half since "when we lost Caroline" and she replied, "You and Caroline were our family, our minds didn't go to that, it's possible, she didn't want the mind to go. Why did you do that? Why did you do it?"
This witness, at times during her testimony, was visibly charged and once burst into tears. She described Bambi Anagnostopoulos as a "manipulative husband" and Caroline as "completely dependent on him."
Witness: Everything they did, they did together. I only saw the defendant in the mornings when she was alone.
Chairman: Was the defendant a manipulative husband?
Witness: Yes. She was a dependent. Caroline was a child cooped up in a house waiting for her husband to come out to do the shopping... she didn't do anything.
Chairman: Didn't she have the initiative to go to the supermarket?
Witness: Several times she didn't have any money on her. She told me.
Chairman: Doesn't it also have something to do with the choice of residence?
Witness: We are very close from St. Paraskevi. 4 minutes in a taxi.
Chairman: Did you realize that he was capable of doing this act?
Witness: No. My trial assessment -- for some things the husband had taken the reins. The only thing that had struck me was that while we were talking on the phone and her husband would come in and say, "I'm hanging up, I'm hanging up, I'm hanging up." She had an anxiety."
"For Caroline, first and foremost, it was the child. She had gone to a school and wanted to study pastry. Because of the situation she was telling Lydia to be two years old to find a girl to keep the child to study, to continue her dreams," the witness further said to then describe the night of her murder. In fact, according to the witness, Caroline was somewhat restless that day and she herself was awakened in the night by Roxy's crying.
Chairman: On that day did you communicate with Caroline?
Witness: She called me and I was surprised because our communication was not of that duration. She was a little anxious. She felt like talking but I could tell she wasn't feeling well. She told me that something was wrong with the dog. She told me that there was nothing wrong with LL and mentioned that she had made plans with a friend to go to lunch. She said I can't, I'm fed up or something.
Chairman: Did she ever come back?
Witness: 8:30 at night with her husband. As soon as they got home she started sending me messages regarding the animals. I was surprised on that particular day because from the morning until the evening, if I had not stopped the messages she would have continued.
Chairman: That night did you hear anything?
Witness: I heard an animal sound at 4:20. It was crying. I heard a dip, a noise and then a crying. The sound was loud and is what woke me up. The defendant called me at 6:17. I picked up the phone and heard him yelling. I didn't understand what was happening. I knew he was in trouble. I woke up my husband and went outside. I realized he was a man who needed help."
Further, the witness questioned about this by the defense testified that Caroline never expressed any complaints of physical violence, nor that she had been cut off from her parents. "She certainly felt a little bit cut off from her friends. She had expressed a desire to have a drink with a friend. Caroline's outings were not frequent. She went out once in a while," the couple's neighbor said."
Defense: As a couple, what were they like?"
Witness: Sometimes he was sweet and sometimes he was ... he would come up the stairs and say "come on in.
The dialogue with Bambi Anagnostopoulos
"When we lost Caroline you had me in your house for a month and a half," the defendant told the witness, and the verb "we lost" he used caused a sensation. "Why did you do it? Why did you kill Roxy?" the witness replied to some of his questions.
Specifically, the following dialogue between witness and defendant took place in court:
Defendant: You had hugged me so warmly in your house for a month and a half after we lost Caroline?
Witness: You and Caroline were our family, our minds didn't go to that, it's possible, she didn't want the mind to go. Why did you do that? Why did you do it?"
Chairman: You are having a private dialogue and we are in court. It has to be a specific question
Defendant: From day one to the end was there any behavior less than respect and love for Caroline? Even when she wasn't in front? Anything less than that?
Witness: No. Many times you were.... You were self-contained. One time you were fine and another time you were cuddly, sometimes more distant.
Defendant: As long as you had me living in your own home with the little animals you had, had you ever for one second seen anything less than love for any animal I had to care for . So to make it appear that I am a person who does not love animals?
Witness: No I had not seen anything less. You've killed Roxy and that's bad. Do you understand that?
Defendant: I understand that
