In particular, after a two-hour conference, regular judges and jury concluded that Babis Anagnostopoulos should be convicted for manslaughter with intent committed in calm state of mind, killing an animal and for the misdemeanours of making a false report because he made others suspect of his actions and of making a false statement on a subsequent occasion.

The court rejected the request to disregard the submission of Eleni Mylonopoulou, while also rejecting the allegation of mental rape.

It is noted that Babis Anagnostopoulos remained unperturbed on hearing the judgment.

«Catapulting» the prosecutor

Concluding her argument, the prosecutor recommended to the judges that the defendant be found guilty of the offence of homicide from intent in calm state of mind and of animal abuse, completely refuting his claim that he was in the on the boil, but also for the misdemeanours of making a false accusation because he made others suspect of his actions and of making a false statement repeatedly.

The prosecutor who said she was shocked by the murder of Caroline Crouch in Sweet Waters, referred to a case that involves elements of human tragedy.

«This story has the elements of a human tragedy. Justice will be done, but no moral justice will be done either to the living victims. His daughter and her mother Caroline. If a man feels the weight of what he has done, I would expect him to remain silent. Caroline's face will haunt his life. Homicide with intent goes beyond the bounds of justice and is awe-inspiring. The accused is confronted with God from whom he has apologized,» the prosecutor specifically said.

He was determined to kill her

At the beginning of her speech the prosecutor official shot down the main claim of Defendant that it was in the heat of the moment when he performed the shocking femicide in the maisonette where the couple lived. «It was Determined to kill. He hated the child and went up to the room to murder Caroline. The fact that Retrieved from The Hair of, as he told us in his apology, is inconsistent with the police officer's testimony that he was calm. Even the argument if that the kill Cloudy was shot down because he deposited the child next to the dead mother's body. He was aware of his cruelty, he wanted the child to be the scene of the murder,» the prosecutor said.

During her summation, the prosecutor stressed that «the perpetrator's deceit was to cover up the crime», considering that «it is irrelevant when the defendant contributed the idea. Whether it was a few days before or a few hours...».

Unseparable event the murder of the dog

Η prosecutor the functionary Featured inseparable Event and the murder of animal.

«He treated the dog with the same cruelty. The animal was tortured, as was girl. He died from suffocating death. Hanged. As much as he claims that loves animals, he had to sacrifice it.. An half-blood puppy not , cited in Guardian to the kill the bandits. In my judgment no bandit wastes time to kill a dog. After hanging it on the ladder with its leash, he walked away so as not to see the tortured end of the animal.».

The evidence of what happened

At the beginning of her speech the prosecutor said: «I was thinking that Proposal of prosecutor could be Open and to close with the verdict because for me what happened is Self-evident. The absurd of the commission of the crimes of this trial, it refers me to the undoubted, that is, the cause of the crime»said the prosecutor and referred to the murder of victim.

«When he started clogging the airways of Caroline it is certain that he felt the shocks of suffocation. It is shocking that the time he acted was long and before his eyes all the suffocating symptoms developed. In my judgment, he had time to step back seeing his wife's symptoms. 60 seconds is a long time to back off. No suspension worked. He initially stated that he engaged in an embrace, not an apt term, only if we accept that it was an embrace of death.

He beat her with his whole body - Divine trial that he did not remove the watch

He left her when he was sure it was the end,» the prosecutor said, calling the defendant's negligence in removing the victim's watch «divine justice.» «The defendant forgot to remove Caroline's watch and that is Auntie Trial because she gave enough evidence,» the prosecutor said, describing her death as agonizing.».
