Elisabeth-Jane Ross, a 38-year-old Scottish woman who was volunteering with a refugee support group in Greece, was found dead in a suitcase stuffed into an abandoned building in Athens on July 18. Despite advanced decomposition, police identified the victim as Ross, who had previously volunteered with the refugee assistance group One Heart. Sharif Ahmadzai, a 26-year Afghan national, was arrested on suspicion of robbing and murdering Ross. He allegedly used Ross' bank cards to make withdrawals and used her phone to contact her friends and family in an attempt to mislead them about her whereabouts and demise. The suspect's wife, an American named Alaina Hall, reported Ahmadzai's absence from their home on July 15 and discovered him at Ross' apartment.
