Heartbreaking pictures show murdered mother Caroline Crouch getting ready for her wedding to the man who killed her. The images show Caroline, who was then 18, smiling as she had her hair and make-up done by a stylist in July 2019. Less than two years after the photos were taken, the mother-of-one was smothered by the man she had married, Babis Anagnostopoulos, 33, over the course of six minutes as their baby daughter Lydia lay nearby. 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. Then last Wednesday, hours after hugging Caroline's mother at a memorial service, the 33-year-old finally brought the cruel charade to an end with a police confession. On Friday, Caroline's mother Susan Dela Cuesta is set to face off with the parents of Anagnostopoulos - Constantinos and Georgia - in court to wrangle over who will care for Lydia.

Lydia is currently being looked after by Anagnostopoulos's parents at their Athens home and they are demanding that custody of her be shared. His lawyer, Alexandros Papaioannidis told MailOnline that Lydia's two grandmothers, Susan and Georgia had spoken on the phone and that both wanted what was best for the child. He said: 'Both families want different things, but they are on good terms and are communicating. It is the court that will have to find a solution about this. The images showed Caroline smiling as she prepared for her marriage to the man who would take her life Caroline gave birth to her daughter last year. The little girl was present when her mother was smothered 'Keeping Lydia for part of the time in Athens and part of the time in Alonnisos is not feasible. 'My client is in prison and the only thing that he can do is care for his child as best he can. He wants custody to be shared.' While confessing to his crime, Anagnostopoulos claimed that he staged an elaborate hoax to make it appear that Caroline had been killed in a botched burglary because he did not want Lydia to be brought up without any parent. Thanassis Hamanis, a lawyer representing the Crouch family, confirmed earlier this week that his clients wanted full custody. He said: 'You can understand the position of the mother who at some point became conscious of the fact that at her daughter's second funeral [her memorial last week] she was embraced by the same hands that cut off her child's very breath. 'You can understand how painful and how tragic it is for a mother.' Ms Dela Cuesta and the parents Anagnostopoulos have also been summoned to testify in an Athens court next week on details of their respective children's stormy marriage. Distraught Susan is to travel from her home on the island of Alonnisos to give evidence, and is expected to describe Anagnostopoulos as 'controlling,' who prevented her from maintaining a healthy relationship with her family. Caroline's father, who is aged 78, is too ill to travel to Athens for the hearing. On Friday, Caroline's mother Susan Dela Cuesta (pictured above) is set to face off with the parents of Anagnostopoulos - Constantinos and Georgia - in court to wrangle over who will care for Lydia Anagnostopoulos's parents meanwhile are expected to testify that it was Caroline who was verbally and physically abusive towards their son. A number of family friends have also been summoned to give evidence on the claims. While on the face of it the couple appeared to have a seemingly perfect life in their Athens villa with their one-year-old child and a number of pets, Anagnostopoulos, 33 has claimed that in truth, Caroline, 20 was physically and verbally abusive towards him. He told a court earlier this week that his judgement became 'blurred' prompting him to kill her after she attacked him. His lawyers have summoned the parents as part of their case that the couple rowed regularly and that on the night of the murder, Anagnostopoulos acted on impulse and did not plan it. An Athens court is also to make an interim decision on Friday on who should have custody over the couple's one-year old daughter Lydia. Susan is demanding that she and David be given full custody and that Lydia stay with them on Alonnisos until a final decision is made.
