A Greek helicopter pilot has been charged with the murder of his British-Greek wife, whose death he had initially claimed was caused by burglars during a brutal invasion of their home on the outskirts of Athens.

Pilot and flight instructor, Babis Anagnostopoulos, 33, was arraigned on Friday for the May 11 killing of Caroline Crouch, 20, who died of suffocation.
