The 11-month-old baby of a British-Filipino woman brutally murdered in Greece during a burglary was found crying, say reports.
Baby Lydia watched her mother Caroline Crouch, 20, being tortured for an hour before being strangled after intruders broke into their hope at Glyka Nera, a suburb of Athens, before dawn on Tuesday.
A post-mortem examination has shown that the mother may have been strangled with her own t-shirt.
Her 32-year-old husband Charalambos Anagnostopoulos, a civil aviation pilot, begged intruders to leave his family unharmed. He was tied up and handcuffed with duct tape over his eyes and mouth as the three burglars searched the property for valuables before killing his wife and hanging the family dog by its own leash as a fourth accomplice kept watch outside.

“Greece is gradually and carefully returning to normalcy, along with the rapid expansion of (its) vaccination program,” President of the Hellenic Republic Katerina Sakellaropoulou said on Monday.
In her opening address to the Delphi Economic Forum (DEF), she pointed out that this year’s forum was dedicated to the bicentennial of the 1821 Greek Revolution, which led to the foundation of the modern Greek state.
