Caroline, 20, was smothered last month  by husband Charalambos “Babis” Anagnostopoulos.

Babis, 33, told cops he was robbed by gangsters to cover his crime —  but confessed last week.

Babis’ parents are looking after 11-month-old Lydia and say they  want to agree custody terms.

But Thanassis Harmanis, the Crouch family lawyer, said Caroline’s parents, who live on Greek island Alonissos, want to look after her.

He said: “You cannot give the child to the parents of a murderer.”

Babis has been moved from the female wing of the maximum security prison where he is being held on the outskirts of Athens to the male section where he asked warders to find him a job.
