Afghan boxer accused of killing British woman in Athens to appear in court
Authorities say the boxer admitted moving the body and faces theft allegations after more than €10,000 was taken from the victim’s bank accounts.
- Afghan boxer Sharif Ahmadzai is due to appear before a Greek court charged with murdering 38-year-old Elisabeth-Jane Ross, who was discovered dead in an abandoned building in Athens on July 18.
- Ahmadzai was initially detained on weapons charges and faces allegations of stealing more than €10,000 from the victim's accounts; he admitted moving the body but denied the murder charge.
- After allegedly murdering Ross, Ahmadzai impersonated a jihadist via text messages to friends; his wife, Alaina Hall, contacted police after tracking her husband's phone to the crime scene.
- Authorities await tissue analysis results to confirm if Ross died from suffocation, as medical examiners believe she died between five and seven days before her body was discovered.
- The Foreign and Commonwealth Office is providing consular support to the family, stating, "Our thoughts are with Elisabeth," while Police Scotland liaisons with local authorities.
