‘If it takes my head to end this, so be it’

Fotis suicide note: ‘Nothing to do with’ it

- By LAURA ITALIANO

“If you are reading this, I am no more,” the accused killer husband of Connecticu­t housewife Jennifer Dulos began his suicide note, obtained on Friday by The Post.

“I refuse to spend even an hour more in jail for something I had NOTHING to do with,” wrote luxury home builder Fotis Dulos, Jennifer’s estranged husband, before he rigged a vacuum-cleaner hose to fatally fill his Chevrolet Suburban with exhaust.

“Enough is enough,” Dulos said in the note, which was recovered inside the car. “If it takes my head to end this, so be it.”

The Greek developer, 52, was near death when he was found inside his car on Tuesday, and he was declared dead Thursday night at Jacobi Medical Center in The Bronx, where he’d been rushed for specialize­d treatment for carbon monoxide poisoning.

The note he left behind was neatly hand-printed in blue ink on a single sheet of looseleaf paper.

It was dated “1/28/2020” the day he was found near death in the car, which was inside the garage of his sprawling brick mansion in Farmington, Conn.

Tellingly, it has no words of kindness for Jennifer, with whom he had five children ages 8 to 13. It mentions her only to insist that neither he nor his two co-defendants, former mistress Michelle Troconis and attorney Kent Mawhinney, who are charged with murder conspiracy, had anything to do with “the disappeara­nce.”

Jennifer vanished without a trace May 24, after dropping the children at their private school.

But the suicide note speaks directly, and tenderly, to his latest girlfriend, identified by The Post as Charlotte-based financial consultant Anna Curry.

“I want to thank all my family and friends that stood by me this difficult time,” the note ends. “Above all Anna Curry. I am sorry for letting you down and not continuing the fight.”

The note, addressed to “All,” ends simply with the printed name, “Fotis.”

Fotis Dulos left this handwritte­n suicide note in the car where he took his life.
