The gravestone of murdered Briton Caroline Crouch shows the mother smiling on her wedding day in 2018.

Miss Crouch, 20, was suffocated by her husband, Greek helicopter pilot Babis Anagnostopoulos, in front of their baby daughter Lydia. 

Yesterday at Miss Crouch's grave on a hill overlooking the sparkling Aegean Sea, one elderly neighbour sobbed and pointed to the cruel irony of the inscription on a marble scroll: 'Our beloved mother, wife and daughter'. 

She said: 'He did not love his wife. This stone will have to be changed.' 

The image of the grave comes as new data from Miss Crouch's smartwatch wristband blows apart Anagnostopoulos's claims that he killed her after losing his temper during a fight.  

Further details have emerged of Anagnostopoulos's account to police of the night Miss Crouch, 20, was suffocated in front of the couple's baby daughter Lydia.

Police also revealed harrowing diary entries written by Miss Crouch about the bitter fights between the pair, who lived a seemingly idyllic life in a wealthy Athens suburb.

When pregnant, in December 2019, she wrote: 'I fought with Babi again. This time it was serious. I hit him, I cursed at him and he broke down the door... I am thinking of leaving.'

Initially, Anagnostopoulos, 33, cynically staged a robbery – even strangling the family dog – before leading detectives on a merry dance and playing the tearful widower for five weeks, weeping at her funeral and hugging her grieving mother Susan.

He finally confessed last week after police nailed him with data from her fitness tracker which recorded that her pulse had stopped an hour before he claimed robbers had burst in.

Having first claimed the couple had a blazing row and that 'she pushed me and punched me... she threw the child inside the crib', Anagnostopoulos now admits she was 'sleeping... with her face resting on the pillow', according to an extract of his police interview made public yesterday.

Anagnostopoulos confessed: 'I laid down next to her, trying to tell her that what she did to Lydia was very bad. I pressed the front of her face, that is, her mouth, nose and eyes, to the pillow.

'I think I was pressing her head with the weight of my body. While I was pushing her I told her two or three times: 'You will not hit the little one again'.
