Greek man confesses to killing his wife

[didihearthatright123456]

Right from the very start I knew it was him! That poor woman, having the life choked out of her for daring to leave her husband. A baby who will never know her mummy

Just heartbreaking

Sorry for the daily shame link 😞

How sad. As soon as I read the story when it happened I thought it was him. He seemed waaayyy too chilled for someone who supposedly when through what he did. If that was me you wouldn't be able to pick me off the floor. Poor woman.

I’ve just gone back and read the interviews he gave at the time. All those lies he made up. Absolutely evil.

I read about it on websleuths and a few posters mentioned that they were wondering if it was something closer to home

I feel sorry for the little girl to be robbed of her mother and to the fact that she might find out the extent of her father’s cruelty. I hope she is found a safe home to live in.

Sadly, I don’t think many people will be surprised at this. Even before you take all the inconsistencies into account, it’s nearly always the male partner, isn’t it?!

I think the Greek police knew from the start. They have done well to get a confession from him, I’m sure they picked their time carefully including the release of information about the smart watch data earlier today.

I think the age is relevant. 20 and 33 isn’t a massive red flag, but she was 16 when they started dating, he must have been around 29. I’m guessing the power dynamic equalled as she matured and he felt her slipping out of his control.

In addition to the murder of his wife, cool-headed covering of his tracks and killing of his dog, he then left his 11 month old daughter alone and distressed at her dead mother’s side in order to cover his tracks. That takes a special sort of sociopath.

This is absolutely not the thread for NAMALT, @LifeinPieces21

Too true, get off your horse!!

Op was just giving a good description of the story so we would recognise it

He was functioning too well in that interview and not a hint of emotion from such a traumatic ordeal. I just learned about the poor dog. May Caroline RIP. Peace to her mother and her daughter.

I fucking knew it.

No it isn’t all men. But it is fucking men that do this time and time and time again. And it’s exhausting.

I suspected it was him but I felt like an awful person for thinking like that. That poor young woman and her baby.

Link did not work sorry that was for a poster yonks ago..to late to refer

Yep, there was something about him when he was talking to the media, had the same feeling about Ian Huntley too. Masquerading in plain sight. That poor girl.

[quote Pumpkinpops]@didihearthatright123456 don't watch it, I truly wish I hadn't so, so harrowing. The only interesting thing was how the police handled him. I think I read somewhere there was a podcast or something about the techniques they used to get him to confess.[/quote]
To save the watch, they played upon the “woman leading to evil/it’s all her fault” aspect to get Chris Watts to confess to killing his wife Shan’ann, and then went from there. So the investigators planted the theory it was his wife that killed their daughters and he might have retaliated.

They feel justified in the moment because if only us women would do the right thing, they wouldn’t have to be that way.

I thought he had done it and was worried the police wouldn't get him especially when they didn't get much evidence from under Caroline's finger nails. Something about the way he spoke to the press made me suspicious. Also, why would burglars murder a woman and a dog but leave a man without a mark. I have been checking the news of this story hoping justice would be done.

That poor, poor woman and her baby. Jesus wept.

And men wonder why we are terrified of them?

This. Another woman like us, like our daughters, gone. Her adult life had hardly begun.

Yes OP i thought it was him as well. He was far too calm and collected the day afterwards when speaking to the press

@dreamingbohemian

I'm not any kind of true crime person but even I thought 'no fucking way' when I read his version of it

When Tia Sharpe disappeared, the very first sentence I read - "Her grandmother's boyfriend says she went out to buy flip-flops" - made me think, "Yup, he did it." So sad.

Page after page after page of women on this thread who all thought what I instantly thought: I bet it was the husband. What does this tell us? How is it that we know this?

I felt like a bad person for suspecting him.

That evil bastard. I hope they lock him up forever.

I'm so, so sorry this happened to Caroline.

Statistics show is usually a family member but I guess we all just knew it was him. Bastard.

@Jobseeker19

I knew it too! I've watched too many unsolved mysteries.

Like Jeffrey Macdonald The ‘intruders’ killed his family, but he was unscathed

Poor girl and the beautiful little baby
What’s going to happen to the baby ?

@Macncheeseballs

What about the woman who disappeared in the pyrenees?

I have not heard of that….. Is that this one

Years and years ago, my mum and I met a British woman in a Greek airport who was fleeing her Turkish husband with their baby.

He'd kept her prisoner, effectively, for years. Hidden her passport, barely allowed her out of the house. Eventually she'd managed to find her passport, hidden it in the baby's pram, and took the baby "out for a walk."

She was able to get on a ferry to a Greek island and once there, called her parents who were able to book her on to the next flight to the UK, which coincidentally was ours. It was unfortunately delayed, which didn't help her nerves, but thank God she and the baby were able to get on and get away without him finding them.

Mum and I saw them being reunited with her family at the airport, that was such a joyful scene. I often think of her and wonder what happened to them both after that.

Thank god she escaped. So very, very sad that this poor woman didn't.

@Prokupatuscrakedatus

And it is important that he is Greek? And British wife? Greek wife would not have been that bad then?

Had his wife been Greek, we would never have known about it. It was only reported here because she was British.

We all knew it was him. But thank god the police have done their job.

Yep I thought it was him as well! I personally think hes gay and she found out.
