> Greek authorities are examining why a 26-year-old Afghan man may have killed Scottish charity worker Elisabeth-Jane Ross. The 38-year-old was found dead last month inside a suitcase in an abandoned building in Athens. Investigators are increasingly concentrating on Ross’s final hours alive. Police believe those inquiries could reveal why she was targeted.
