Sharif Ahmadzai, who is 26 and from Afghanistan, faces charges of homicide with intent, robbery and weapons offences.

An Afghan boxer was charged with killing a Scottish aid worker in Greece after his wife gave "key" details to police, the BBC has been told. Sharif Ahmadzai, 26, has been charged with homicide with intent – equivalent to a murder charge in Scots law - alongside robbery and weapons offences. The body of Elisabeth Ross, who was 38, was discovered in a suitcase by a homeless man in a derelict building in the Kypseli area of Athens on 18 July. Ahmadzai's wife, Alaina Hall, is said to have given information to police, including location data which placed her husband and Ross at the same apartment on 15 July – the day Ross is thought to have been killed. Appearing in court earlier, Ahmadzai asked for an English translator but did not respond to the charges. His lawyer Christos Erdas said his client had exercised his right to remain silent and has asked for medical records of the victim to be included in the case file. Erdas said his client's rights had been "violated" through the leaking of information which was "to the detriment of the presumption of his innocence". The lawyer said that when Ross was found "there was a complete absence of any apparent cause of death".
