A woman's body found in a suitcase in Greece: police arrest a suspect

Greek police announced on August 2 that they had arrested a suspect in connection with the death of a British woman whose body was found inside a suitcase in Athens. The victim, identified as Elisabeth-Jane Ross from Scotland, arrived in Greece on June 26 and stayed with a friend in Piraeus until July 10, after which her destination became unknown. Authorities stated that a 26-year-old Afghan national confessed to the crime, including placing the body in a suitcase and moving it to an abandoned building in Kypseli. He also used the victim’s bank cards to withdraw money, which led to his identification through surveillance footage. Despite challenges such as decomposition and lack of DNA evidence, investigators were able to identify valid fingerprints belonging to the victim. The suspect claimed she was already dead when he found her.
