> Greek police have assigned their entire homicide division to uncover what happened to 38-year-old Elisabeth-Jane Ross. Her body was discovered last month inside a suitcase in Kypseli, a central Athens neighbourhood. The location lies beyond corrugated iron from a tree-lined road, a park and the home of Greece’s oldest sports club. On the other side is a wasteland of derelict buildings and graffiti-covered walls. Investigators are trying to explain how Ross met her fate.
