The 24-year-old woman from Burkina Faso was in Folegandros—where she worked as a cleaning lady during the tourist season—before arriving in Athens; who was found dead inside a suitcase in Agios Panteleimon on Sunday afternoon (November 8).
According to the latest information that has emerged from the police investigation, the young woman arrived in Athens on October 28 and met with a friend from Cameroon that same day. During their meeting, she told him she was going to downtown Athens for coffee.

It was her boyfriend from Cameroon who reported her disappearance on November 4 at the Kypseli Police Station, as several days had passed without any news from her.
The authorities’ investigation has determined that this man is not involved in the case.
Her cell phone was not found in the suitcase—Where the investigation is focusing
Meanwhile, another detail being examined by police is that the 24-year-old’s cell phone—or any other personal belongings—were not found inside the suitcase where her body was discovered.
The Hellenic Police investigation is now focused on a small area around the spot where the suitcase was found, at the intersection of Alkamenos and Charissis Streets in Agios Panteleimon, as police believe the perpetrator is somewhere nearby.
It should be noted that the suitcase was discovered on Sunday afternoon (November 8) by a passerby, who noticed a strong foul odor and alerted the police.
When police officers arrived at the scene and checked its contents, they discovered the body of the young woman.
The 24-year-old was identified through fingerprints, as her information was already in the Greek Police database. It was determined that she had previously come to the attention of the authorities for violations of immigration laws, specifically for illegal entry into the country.
According to preliminary forensic findings, the young woman is estimated to have died approximately seven days before her body was found, though the cause of death has not yet been determined.
At the same time, her body showed no visible injuries, though her legs were found bound.
Detectives from the Homicide Division are attempting to reconstruct the 24-year-old’s final movements, from her arrival in Athens on October 28 until her death, in order to determine with whom she came into contact and who transported and abandoned the suitcase in Agios Panteleimon.
