Caroline Crouch's parents will apply for full custody of her 11-month-old daughter in Greece today, reports say.
David and Susan Crouch will reportedly ask a family court in Athens if they can look after Lydia following the murder of her British mother.
Their lawyer said yesterday the couple - who live on the Greek island of Alonissos - want to take the child in.
It comes as police released pictures of the 'crime scene' where Caroline, 20, was killed by husband Babis Anagnostopoulos.
It shows broken patio doors where the helicopter pilot claimed a gang had broken into their villa.

The Crouch family lawyer Thanassis Harmanis said David and Susan will be filing to take care of their granddaughter.

David said: 'Both Susan and I will spend the rest of our lives making sure that justice is done and ensuring that her little daughter Lydia is brought up with all the advantages that we can give her and that the memories of her mother live forever.'

In a double horror for her parents, the son-in-law they wept with had deceived them in the worst way imaginable.

For weeks, Anagnostopoulos played the widower as police searched for the 'robbers' he claimed had tied him up and killed his wife, plus the family's pet dog, Roxy.

Yesterday police released pictures of the scene where the killer suffocated his wife and killed their dog.
It showed broken patio doors where Anagnostopoulos claimed a gang had entered their Greek villa.
A disabled security camera was on the floor along with an upturned Monopoly box where the shameless father said the 'thieves' had found €10,000 of savings.
The images came as he tried to blame his wife for her own death, claiming a miscarriage 'changed
