Easey Street murder suspect Perry Kouroumblis awaits extradition to Australia

·

Perry Kouroumblis, the man arrested in Rome in connection with the infamous Easey Street murders, is reportedly “worried” but “very calm” as he prepares for extradition to Australia, according to his Italian lawyer, Serena Tucci.

Kouroumblis, 65, has been held in Rome’s Regina Coeli jail since September after being detained at Leonardo da Vinci Airport under an Interpol red notice.

The murder charges relate to the brutal 1977 murders of Suzanne Armstrong, 27, and Susan Bartlett, 28, in their Collingwood home in Melbourne. The women were found stabbed to death, though Armstrong’s 16-month-old son was unharmed.

According to Herald Sun, Tucci confirmed she met with Kouroumblis on Monday, November 25 for the last time before his extradition, which is expected within days. She stated she has been in contact with his Melbourne-based lawyer, but declined to name them at Kouroumblis’ request.

Kouroumblis, who was 17 at the time of the murders, maintains his innocence. He left Australia for Greece in 2017 after police requested a DNA sample during their investigation, reportedly to care for his ailing mother.

The extradition follows years of investigation into the long-unsolved case, which remains one of Victoria Police’s highest priorities. Authorities have not disclosed the exact timing of Kouroumblis’ return to Australia.
