Elisabeth 'Lisa' Ross, a 38-year-old Scottish aid worker who volunteered with a refugee support group in Greece, was found dead in an Athens abandoned building; her family described her as kind, principled and selfless as tributes from friends and Edinburgh church poured in, and Afghan boxer Sharif Ahmadzai has been charged with her murder and related offences after allegedly transporting her body in a suitcase and using her bank cards, with his trial expected to take up to 18 months.
An Afghan boxer, Sharif Ahmadzai, appeared in an Athens court charged with homicide with intent, robbery and weapons offences in connection with the death of Elisabeth Ross, a Scottish aid worker whose body was found in a suitcase in Athens. He allegedly moved the body, used Ross's bank card to withdraw about €10,000, and sent messages to her contacts to imply she was alive; he admitted moving the body but denied murder as the case was deferred for formal charging. Ross had been volunteering with a refugee support group in Athens.
