Greek police believe phone of British woman found dead in suitcase was used to stall investigation - reports
Greek police say final texts from Elisabeth Jane Ross’s phone were sent after her death, as toxicology tests seek to confirm foul play.
- Elisabeth Jane Ross, a 38-year-old British woman, was discovered dead in a suitcase in Kypseli, Athens on Saturday; Greek authorities believe she was killed on July 15.
- Using her missing phone, perpetrators sent messages claiming she 'needed some time to herself' and 'wanted to be alone for a while' to mask her death. Police identify this as a cover-up.
- Investigators determined the suitcase did not belong to the victim, as she arrived in Greece without large luggage. This forensic lead suggests the item could contain fingerprints or genetic material identifying the killers.
- Police Scotland and the FDCO are coordinating with Greek authorities to support the victim's family. A Police Scotland spokesperson said they are "liaising with authorities in Greece" to provide consular assistance.
- Tracing the final movements and associates of the victim remains the primary investigative path toward identifying her murderers. This ongoing inquiry serves as the key step beyond initial forensic evidence.
