Body of Scottish woman 'found inside suitcase' in Greece
Interpol and U.S. investigators helped confirm the victim’s identity as detectives probe how she was killed and who last saw her.
- On Monday, Interpol notified the Hellenic Police that DNA testing confirmed the identity of the 38-year-old British woman found dead in Kypseli, Athens. Greek and American authorities worked together through Interpol to establish her identity.
- A homeless man discovered the remains on July 18 inside a deserted building on Evelpidon Street, where he noticed a limb protruding from a suitcase. The woman had been dead approximately eight days before discovery.
- Detectives believe she arrived in Greece on June 29 after traveling from the United States via Cyprus. Initial database checks failed to identify her, prompting Greek authorities to send fingerprints through Interpol.
- A Police Scotland spokesperson said: "We are aware of the death of Scottish woman in Athens and are liaising with authorities in Greece." Officers are providing support to her family in Scotland.
- No suspect has been identified at this time, and an autopsy is scheduled for the coming days. Officers are currently investigating her final movements and speaking with anyone who may have contacted her before death.
