Greek Police Arrest 26-Year-Old Man After Finding Body in Suitcase

Greek authorities identified the victim as 38-year-old Elisabeth-Jane Ross after her body was found in a derelict building. This arrest followed a criminal investigation into suspected foul play launched earlier this week. Investigators initially focused on identifying American acquaintances of the victim to reconstruct her final movements. Forensic experts expect to release official autopsy results regarding the cause of death soon. The discovery of the body inside a suitcase prompted a rapid homicide probe by local officials.
