Greek police have arrested a 26-year-old man in connection with the death of a British woman whose body was found in a suitcase in Athens last month. The suspect, identified in media reports as an Afghan national, has confessed to the killing, police said on Sunday.
The victim was named as Elisabeth-Jane Ross, a 38-year-old Scottish national. Her body was discovered in a suitcase in a derelict building in the Greek capital. Police said officers from the Directorate for Combating Organised Crime had solved the homicide.
The arrest marks a breakthrough in the investigation, which had been ongoing since the discovery of the body. Authorities have not released further details about the suspect or the circumstances of the crime.
