The recent arrest of a man in connection to the infamous Easey Street murders in Melbourne has caused quite a stir. After nearly five decades, the suspect's identity has been revealed and it turns out to be none other than his own brother. While the police firmly believe that Perry Kouroumblis is responsible for the brutal killings, his brother Tony is vehemently denying any involvement on his part.
It's quite a shock to learn that the suspect had a personal connection to one of the victims. Perry had actually been a student at the school where one of the victims, Susan Bartlett, worked as an arts and crafts teacher. To make matters even more chilling, Perry lived just a short walk away from the crime scene where Susan and her roommate Suzanne Armstrong were found dead. The murders have remained unsolved for an astounding 47 years, leaving the community in a state of fear and uncertainty.
The news of Perry's arrest has left his family and loved ones reeling. His brother Tony, who had never suspected a thing, spoke out for the first time today. He could hardly believe the accusations against his brother and said that he was in a state of shock and disbelief. Tony firmly believes that his brother is not capable of committing such a heinous crime. However, the evidence against Perry is quite compelling.
The police allege that Perry stabbed both Suzanne and Susan to death, while leaving Suzanne's 16-month-old son unharmed. The suspect, now 65 years old, was detained at an Italian airport after arriving from Greece. This came as a shock to his family who had no idea that he was even out of the country. The police had been investigating the murders for years and in 2017, they decided to reopen the case. Tony and other relatives provided DNA samples to help with the investigation, but Perry had other plans.
Instead of cooperating with the authorities, Perry chose to flee to Athens. His brother Tony believes that he wouldn't have stayed in the country for over 40 years if he was guilty of the murders. However, the police have a different story to tell. Retired homicide detective Ron Iddles recalls pulling over the suspect just a week after the murders took place. He found a knife in the trunk of the suspect's car with what appeared to be blood stains near the handle. Ron handed over the knife to the detectives but the case went cold for decades.
Now, the homicide squad has 45 days to present a solid case against Perry to an Italian court who will then decide whether or not to extradite him back to Australia. The community is eagerly waiting for justice to be served after all these years.
