A 26-year-old man has been arrested by Greek police in connection with the death of a British woman whose body was found in a suitcase in Athens last month.
"Officers of the Directorate for Combating Organized Crime have solved the homicide of a 38-year-old UK national, whose body was found inside a suitcase in an abandoned building in the Kypseli area on July 18," the Hellenic Police said on Sunday.
Police say suspect confessed
The victim, identified in British and Greek media reports as 38-year-old Elisabeth-Jane Ross from Scotland, arrived in Greece in late June and was last known to be in the Athens area on July 10. She was later reported missing.
Police said the suspect, a foreign national, confessed on Thursday and now faces charges including intentional homicide, robbery and firearms-related offenses.
