He also slaughtered their pet Husky puppy in a bid to make his robbery lie seem more plausible.
His web of lies included telling reporters his family had been tied up and gagged by robbers who strangled Caroline, 20, before making off with £10,000 cash.
Harrowing TV interviews showed the dad pouring his heart out as he begged anyone with information to come forward.
But in a sensational twist, the pilot yesterday confessed to cops after more than eight hours of interrogation in Athens.
His shameless attempts to disguise the truth have now been revealed by a body language expert.

Some of the new evidence came from the pilot's own mobile phone, as police revealed an app had tracked his repeated steps from the attic to the basement of the home at the time he had claimed to be blindfolded and tied up by the alleged robbers.
It was discovered the memory card in the security camera of the maisonette the couple shared had also been removed at 1:20am - while he had claimed the thieves broke into the house several hours later.
Caroline's smartwatch recorded that her heart had stopped beating hours before the time Anagnostopoulos claimed she must have been murdered.
According to reports, Babis eventually broke down saying: "That night we had been arguing from early on.
"At some point she threw the child in her cot and she told me to get up and leave the house.
"She pushed me and punched me. My judgement became blurred, I strangled her and then I staged the robbery."
The helicopter pilot, who was 12 years older than his student wife, was detained in the cells at Greece's central police headquarters last night.
It had taken police 37 days to crack the case with investigators following up a host of dud inquiry lines based on the testimony Babis had given.
"It is going to be remembered as one of the great crime cases in recent decades," said one source.
Local media reported that among the evidence police had of the altercation was an attempt by Caroline to book herself into a hotel with their baby daughter on the night of the crime.
In a text message found on Caroline's phone, it had become apparent that the student had indeed threatened to leave the man she had first met as a teenager just hours before her own murder.
The pilot will be hauled before the courts today but is expected to request a 48-hour reprieve to prepare his defence with lawyers.
