Alleged murderer of Easey Street to face charges as details of the case are revealed.

Perry Kouroumblis, the suspect in the Easey Street murder case, has finally arrived in Melbourne after a long extradition journey from Rome. It is expected that the police will conduct an interview with him tomorrow morning, followed by his appearance in court where he will face charges of murder and rape.

The 65-year-old, who holds dual Greek and Australian citizenship, was approved for extradition from Italy in late October. This comes almost 50 years after the tragic deaths of Suzanne Armstrong and Susan Bartlett, who were found murdered in their home in Collingwood. The extradition process began on Monday afternoon, as Kouroumblis was escorted from Rome's high-security Regina Coeli prison in a discreet van.

Upon reaching Melbourne's international airport, he was greeted by the same officer who arrested him in September when he arrived from Greece. Due to the statute of limitations in Greece, he could not be arrested there. Kouroumblis was then transferred onto a Qatar Airways flight to Doha, where he sat in seat 35E, accompanied by Victoria Police detectives. The head of the homicide squad, Dean Thomas, sat in the row ahead of him.

The flight landed in Melbourne at 11:32 pm on Tuesday, 13 minutes earlier than scheduled. Early this morning, the police announced that Kouroumblis would be questioned today and then presented in court, where he will face charges of murder and rape. This development comes after Kouroumblis left Melbourne in 2017, following his agreement to provide a DNA sample during the reinvestigation of the case. While he was considered a person of interest, he was never officially charged.

In September, Kouroumblis himself consented to his extradition back to Australia. His lawyer at the time stated that he maintains his innocence in the murders. The victims, Armstrong and Bartlett, were 27 and 28 years old respectively when they were found dead in their Easey Street home on January 13, 1977. They had both been stabbed, and Armstrong had also been raped. Thankfully, their infant son was found unharmed in his cot.
