Caroline Crouch was so terrified of killer husband she ‘double-checked door was closed during therapy sessions’
TRAGIC Caroline Crouch was so terrified of her killer husband, it is claimed she would double check the doors where closed during therapy sessions.
Police had previously revealed the 20-year-old mum and her husband Babis Anagnostopoulos had been attending therapy at the time of the murder- individually speaking to the same psychologist in separate sessions.
''Caroline was terrified during her sessions. That's why she demanded my client to shut the door so there is no way of her husband listening to what she would say,'' she said.
''She had revealed that there was no physical or any relationship between the couple the past months.
The outlet reports that Caroline's counsellor had urged her to speak to her mum about the problems in her marriage but said that the 20-year-old ''did not want to disappoint her mum.''
Entries in Caroline's diary showed that she was planning to leave her husband for over a year.
Cops believe that Caroline was using coded words and symbols to record her abusive marriage, as she branded her husband a ''dangerous man.''
It is believed that the heartbreaking journal that contained English and Greek abbreviations might include important clues for Caroline's murder.
Meanwhile, Caroline's parents were granted today the full custody of their granddaughter,one-year-old daughter Lydia.
Anagnostopoulos was stripped off his parental rights and little Lydia is expected to be with her grandparents Susan and David in Alonnissos.
The Crouch family lawyer Thanasis Harmanis told the Sun: ''The court has accepted our request. We were always confident it would.
