Authorities investigating the death of 24-year-old Aramata from Burkina Faso—who was found dead, tied up and dumped inside a suitcase in a dark alley in Agios Panteleimonas, Athens.
The investigation remains ongoing today (November 11, 2026) as police work to piece together all the details surrounding the circumstances of her death. Authorities are paying particular attention both to the calls she made after returning from Folegandros —one day before she went missing—as well as to the itinerary of the person who dumped the suitcase containing her remains in Agios Panteleimonas.

From the very moment the remains were discovered, the case seemed destined to turn into a “thriller.” The passerby who saw the 24-year-old’s fingers sticking out of the suitcase immediately alerted the authorities, who rushed to the scene. The medical examiner’s examination revealed that the victim had been bound and was in a fetal position. The cause of death remains undetermined.
Police believe that her cell phone—and specifically the calls she made or received during her final hours—will play a crucial role in the investigation.
At the same time, police are examining the possibility that the person who transported the body to that specific location was moving within a short distance of where the suitcase was found.
For this reason, the investigation is also focusing on the wider area in order to identify clues that could reveal the route the person took.
As a result, police officers are “combing” the area, taking statements, and reviewing security camera footage.
The trip to Folegandros and the meeting with her boyfriend in Athens
The investigation is focusing on the period from October 28 to November 4. Authorities are trying to determine who the 24-year-old came into contact with after her return to Athens and what happened in the days leading up to her disappearance.
The young woman returned to Athens on October 28 after completing her professional obligations on Folegandros.
That same evening, she met with a friend from Cameroon, to whom she reportedly mentioned that she was going to have coffee with another person in downtown Athens.
The next day, she went missing. Five days later, on November 4, her friend went to the Kypseli Police Station and reported her disappearance.
So far, according to reports, there is no evidence linking this man to the case. Police, however, are examining the 24-year-old’s contacts, looking for people who may know what happened.
The investigation is ongoing, with the goal of locating the 24-year-old’s cell phone, the people she contacted during the last days of her life, as well as the route taken by the person who abandoned the suitcase in Agios Panteleimonas.
