On July 15, the British woman reportedly told her friends in Keratsini that she would return shortly after going to a pottery school. The suspect has denied killing the woman, claiming he found her dead inside the apartment where he lived. Following the killing, the suspect traveled to Arachova with his partner, who authorities say was not involved in the woman’s death. A forensic report had initially left open the possibility that the woman’s death could have been related to drug or alcohol use. Greek authorities also said that reports in foreign media suggesting involvement by beggars or other individuals in the woman’s death were unfounded.
