The body found on Sunday inside a suitcase in Agios Panteleimon belongs to a 24-year-old woman from Burkina Faso. Police investigations are ongoing to determine the circumstances of the woman’s death, with the Homicide Division now handling the case.
The suitcase containing the remains was found on Alkamenous Street, at its intersection with Charissis Street, by a 29-year-old foreign national, who went to the local police station and reported that a strong foul odor was emanating from it.
Police officers who arrived at the scene found a human body in an advanced state of decomposition inside the bag.
According to initial information from police sources, the woman’s legs were bound with rope, and the body had been placed in a fetal position inside the suitcase.
The initial forensic assessment indicated that the woman was between 17 and 25 years old, of African descent, and of slight build. Her death was estimated to have occurred approximately five to seven days before she was found.
An initial examination revealed no visible injuries on her body, and the exact cause of death has not been determined based on the available evidence.
Police are investigating the circumstances under which the 24-year-old lost her life, as well as how her body ended up inside the suitcase at that specific location.
