ATHENS, Greece — Police escorted a man accused of killing Scottish aid worker Elisabeth Jane Ross and hiding her body in a suitcase to court on Wednesday after he was charged with murder and robbery. The body of Ross, 38, was discovered inside the suitcase at an abandoned building on July 18 a few days after she had arrived in Athens to visit friends. The suspect was identified from street camera footage recorded near the site, showing a man wheeling a large, dark-coloured suitcase. He was granted 24 hours to prepare his defence and is expected back in court Thursday, court officials said. The suspect — a migrant who has not been named in accordance with Greek law — was arrested Sunday. The United Kingdom National Crime Agency and Police Scotland assisted with the investigation, along with law enforcement from the United States. Greek public broadcaster ERT reported that the suspect was born in Afghanistan and was pursuing a boxing career in Athens, details that authorities have not publicly confirmed. The Associated Press
