A man accused of murdering Scottish aid worker Elisabeth Jane Ross and stuffing her body into a suitcase appeared in a Greek court Wednesday, charged with murder and robbery. Ross, 38, arrived in Athens on July 18 to visit friends and was never seen again. Her body was found days later inside a large suitcase at an abandoned building in the city. The case drew international attention almost immediately. Police identified the suspect through street camera footage showing a man wheeling a large, dark-colored suitcase near the site where her body was discovered. He was arrested Sunday after an investigation that involved Greek authorities, the UK National Crime Agency, Police Scotland, and law enforcement from the United States. The suspect has not been named under Greek law. Greek public broadcaster ERT reported he was born in Afghanistan and was pursuing a boxing career in Athens, though authorities have not publicly confirmed those details. He was granted 24 hours to prepare his defense and is expected back in court Thursday. #Athens #ElisabethRoss #Greece
