Body Found in Suitcase in Athens | Nottingham News

A Scottish woman, Elisabeth Jane Ross, was discovered dead inside a suitcase in an abandoned Athens building—prompting the arrest of a 26-year-old Afghan man accused of intentional homicide. Investigators believe she arrived in Greece in late June and had been staying in various places before moving into a ground-floor flat where the suspect allegedly had access. CCTV and phone records show him moving a large suitcase from her apartment to the abandoned site on July 16th, then leaving with only a rucksack. His wife provided key evidence—including location data placing him at her flat during the critical night—and turned over her phone and $2,550 cash, suspected to be Ross’s. Initially claiming he found her dead in the bathroom, the suspect later admitted to using her phone and bank cards. Police added weapon-related charges after finding a replica gun and military-style blade at his home. Forensic analysis matched usable fingerprints recovered from the victim to Interpol’s database. The suspect is now formally charged and handed over to prosecutors. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
