An image of the woman known as Elizabeth.
Detectives fear a British woman was lured into an abandoned house in Athens and killed before her remains were stuffed into a suitcase.
The Scottish woman, known only as Elizabeth, is believed to have entered Greece through Cyprus – as police seek to find out more about her identity.
A murder investigation has been launched after the suitcase was found in the Kypseli neighbourhood on July 18 by a homeless man.
He followed a bad smell into an abandoned building where he found the suitcase with what looked like a ‘human limb’ poking out, according to local reports.
A forensic examination of her body showed no obvious injuries or signs of struggle.
It is estimated that the Brit, said to be born in Scotland, had been dead for around eight days before she was found.
