Elisabeth-Jane Ross, 38, was discovered dead by a homeless man in a derelict building in the Kypseli area of the Greek capital on 18 July. After allegedly murdering Ross, Ahmadzai is accused of sending a series of messages from her phone to her friends and family before switching off the device. She is then said to have gone to meet American friends in another part of the Greek capital. The Hellenic Police said they analysed video footage to identify the suspect, who they allege confessed on Thursday. A Police Scotland spokesperson previously said: “We are aware of the death of a Scottish woman in Athens and are liaising with authorities in Greece.
