Greek police say a man has admitted transporting the body of a Scottish woman in a suitcase to an abandoned building.
Elisabeth-Jane Ross, 38, was found in the Kypseli district of Athens on 18 July, days after she was reported missing.
Local officers launched an investigation with cooperation from authorities in the US, the UK and Scotland, and now say they have arrested a 26-year-old man - the BBC understands he is from Afghanistan.
The force said he was brought to police headquarters on Thursday where he "confessed to his actions".
He was arrested on suspicion of manslaughter, robbery and weapons offences, but the exact charges have yet to be finalised under the Greek legal system.
