Easey Street murder suspect declares his innocence and agrees to extradition

·

Double homicide suspect Perry Kouroumblis has consented to extradition to Australia, declaring his innocence in Melbourne’s infamous 1977 Easey Street cold case during a court hearing in Rome.

His court-appointed lawyer reported that the 65-year-old dual Australian-Greek citizen expressed his intention to clear his name.

 Victims Susan Bartlett (L) and Suzanne Armstrong (R).

“He said he wants to come back to Australia and explain everything,” public defender Serena Tucci told The Age.

Tucci stated that Kouroumblis informed authorities of his willingness to cooperate with the extradition. He asserted his right to remain silent, with the exception of expressing his innocence and granting consent for the extradition.

Kouroumblis’ agreement to be extradited has the potential to fast-track the case in the Australian court.
