British Woman's Body Found in Suitcase in Greece
Greek police have arrested a suspect after the body of a British woman was discovered inside a suitcase at an abandoned site. Investigators allege the man transported her remains in the luggage and then used her bank cards to withdraw money. The victim had not been formally named as inquiries continued.
The grim discovery has drawn attention in Britain and prompted contact between Greek and British authorities as they piece together what happened. Police said they were treating the death as a killing and had detained a suspect they believed was known to the victim. Cases of Britons dying abroad in violent circumstances are rare but attract intense scrutiny, and consular officials were said to be supporting the family. The investigation was at an early stage. Watch for the naming of the victim and the charges brought.
