Afghan Boxer Accused in Scottish Aid Worker’s Death | Glasgow News

A shocking murder case in Athens has gripped international attention: a 26-year-old Afghan boxer, Sharif Ahmadzai, faces homicide with intent and theft charges after the death of 38-year-old Scottish aid worker Elisabeth-Jane Ross. Found dead in a derelict building amid extreme heat, Ross’s body was discovered days after her disappearance. Ahmadzai, initially arrested for weapons possession, is now accused of sending deceptive texts from her phone—including impersonating a jihadist—to manipulate her contacts. His wife, an American citizen, tipped off authorities after tracking his movements. Forensic tests are pending, but pre-trial detention remains ordered. The UK Foreign Office and Police Scotland are actively supporting Ross’s family as the investigation intensifies.
