The man arrested on suspicion of murdering a Scottish woman whose body was found in a suitcase in Athens has been revealed as a Christian aid worker and champion boxer who fled from Afghanistan after being orphaned as a child.
Sharif Ahmadzai, 26, is said to have admitted hiding the body of 38-year-old Elisabeth-Jane Ross in a suitcase before dumping it in an abandoned building where she was discovered by a homeless man on 18 July – several days after she was reported missing.
