A 26-year-old Afghan migrant named Sharif Ahmadzai has been arrested by Greek police in connection with the murder of Elizabeth-Jane Ross, a 38-year-old British charity volunteer from Edinburgh, whose body was discovered in an abandoned building in the Kypseli district of Athens [1]. Ross's remains were found on July 18, 2024, with preliminary medical findings indicating asphyxiation as the cause of death [1].
Ahmadzai, who arrived in Greece as a refugee in 2016 after crossing the sea to Lesbos [1], is accused of using Ross's bank card to withdraw several thousand euros and sending text messages impersonating her to reassure relatives of her safety [1]. Police searching his home recovered a black metal replica handgun and a black military-style knife [1]. Ahmadzai's wife discovered his disappearance on July 15, and he subsequently attempted to give her €2,550 in cash and a new iPhone 17 Pro [1]. He is scheduled to appear before Athens District Court on Wednesday [1].
