The Easey Street murders refer to the knife murders of Suzanne Armstrong and Susan Bartlett in Collingwood, Victoria, Australia, an inner suburb of Melbourne, in January 1977. Described as "Victoria’s most brutal crime", the case remained unsolved despite a A$1 million reward being posted in 2017.
On 19 September 2024 a 65-year-old man, Perikilis "Perry" Kouroumblis, was arrested in Rome, Italy, in connection with the murders. He was extradited to Australia and arrived in Melbourne on 3 December 2024.
Kouroumblis returned to court on 29 October 2025 for a committal hearing over six days, where the evidence of 19 witnesses was tested in court.
