"Hell" is the prosecutor of the session of the Mixed Jury Court of Athens for Bambi Anagnostopoulos, who murdered his wife Caroline Crouch on May 11, 2021 in Sweet Nera.
"The murder was committed on trivial grounds," the prosecutor said of the accused, noting that the 33-year-old made his child part of the crime scene so that the police would take their attention away from them when they entered the couple's maisonette.
"The facts are self-evident, deafening and leave no room for the accused to be the perpetrator of the acts attributed to him," the prosecutor said and went on to state, among other things, the following: "The accused only stopped when he achieved his objective. When he started to block the airways, he felt the feeling of anguish and suffocation of the victim. Before his eyes the suffocating symptoms developed. At three minutes the necrosis of the brain at five the end of life. He had time to back off, a minute is a long time if he wanted to reverse something. No suspension worked on the defendant.
The defendant's description was essentially fabricated in his own version to reinforce his version of error. He said of an embrace, not an apt term only if we state that it was an embrace of death. He told us he stopped when he felt she was unconscious. He squeezed her with his whole body to make sure she wouldn't react. Caroline was not standing and was moving in space, the movement recorded on her watch was from the movement of her arms.
It felt every moment that she was in agony. He only stopped that he had achieved his goal. She did nothing to reverse the situation. Fortunately the defendant did not think to remove the smart watch from Caroline's hand and that is divine justice. Coroner Ms. Spiliopoulou said that the person was in a state of great stress. The whole thing worked for six minutes. According to the coroner the death was agonizing and instantaneous."
Dismiss the claim of boiling
The prosecutor asked that the defendant's claim that he committed the crime in a boiling of mental impulse be dismissed. The prosecutor stated: "... The defendant strengthened his defense. He had great difficulty in describing a situation demonstrating over-excitement. He contented himself with blaming the victim and spoke of Caroline's fits of anger. She said that night, the victim pushed the baby back to the cradle. He said that's what set him off. He was asked to tell us why he was prompted to lose lucidity. But he did not describe anything violent.
The mechanism of death took place while the victim was asleep. In fact, the defendant made his self-criticism as a husband. Indeed, with all due respect to his position, he was asked many times during his apology if he understood if he was in touch with his surroundings and if he understood what he was saying. He prolonged his apology for hours to get to the crime, to convince us that something unexpected happened that night and he settled on that ending. As time went on it is a wonder how he still had anger and why he kept apologizing to the sleeping victim. He attributed it all to jerky movements even tying the victim's hands behind his back. He could not reasonably claim that Caroline was dangerous to the baby. He told us of the mother's clumsy movement towards the baby without any purpose.
But he told us that she was a superior mother, brave and mature. So where does that leave us? I formulate the thought that murder was committed for trivial concerns. He very well in the depths of his soul knows that there was no apparent cause. He put the child to sleep on the couch and went up to kill. He was determined to kill. Everything he said about pulling his hair and crying is not consistent with the police statements nor with the killing of the dog. I have the image of a man who has no sense of overwhelm. Even the argument that he killed in a haze is refuted by the fact that he deposited the child on the dead mother's body.
He was aware of his unthinkable cruelty. He wanted to make the child part of the murder scene. So that he would remain unscathed by the police procedure he was following. The violence used was such that it disfigured her face. The animal was tortured as much as the girl."
