Afghan Boxer Accused in Greece Homicide | Glasgow News

A 26-year-old Afghan boxer, Sharif Ahmadzai, faces grave charges in Athens over the alleged murder of 38-year-old aid worker Elisabeth-Jane Ross, whose body was found in a derelict building. Accused of homicide with intent — equivalent to murder in Scotland — Ahmadzai is also charged with stealing over €10,000 from Ross’s accounts. Though initially arrested for weapons possession, the case has escalated dramatically. He remains in custody as prosecutors review surveillance footage and toxicology reports hinting at suffocation. Defense lawyers are requesting more time to examine medical evidence and obtain Ross’s UK medical records. Messages allegedly sent from Ross’s phone before it was turned off, plus suspected impersonation attempts, add layers to the mystery. Consular support is being provided to Ross’s family as the investigation continues. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
