The main suspect in the murder of a 24-year-old woman from Burkina Faso, whose body was found inside a suitcase in Agios Panteleimonas, has been identified.

Initially, police questioned the man who had hosted the young woman on her first night. However, his involvement was ruled out, and the investigation subsequently focused on a group of her acquaintances, with two individuals eventually being excluded from the case.

The main suspect is now a man whose home is located near the spot where the suitcase was discovered. According to TO VIMA, there is CCTV footage showing a man leaving the suitcase at that location.

The histological examination has not yet been completed and is expected to provide further details about the woman’s death.

According to in.gr, the authorities do not consider it likely that the woman’s death was linked to drug use. Instead, they believe an argument may have taken place inside the suspect’s home and that her death was not premeditated.

Regarding the forensic findings, no fracture of the hyoid bone was detected, an injury that can sometimes be associated with strangulation. However, investigators are considering the possibility that the woman died from suffocation after a pillow was placed over her face.

The histological examination has not yet been completed and is expected to shed further light on the circumstances surrounding her death.
