Suspect in Australia's Easey Street murders extradited from Italy

A man wanted over one of Australia's most infamous cold cases, dubbed the Easey Street murders, has arrived in Melbourne after being extradited from Italy.
 
Suzanne Armstrong, 27, and Susan Bartlett, 28, were stabbed to death in their Melbourne house in 1977, in a case which has gripped the nation ever since.
 
Police said the suspect Perry Kouroumblis, 65, only became the focus of their investigation in recent years after DNA testing breakthroughs.
 
Mr. Kouroumblis, who has not been charged and maintains his innocence, was detained in Italy in September.
 
If charged, he is expected to face court later this week, according to local media.
