An Afghan man arrested for allegedly killing a British woman and then stuffing her body inside a suitcase said he had become angry with her because she was trying to get him to join a ‘strict’ Christian group.
The body of Elisabeth Jane Ross, 38, who was also known as Lisa, was discovered inside the suitcase by a homeless man in an abandoned carpark in the Kypseli district of Athens on July 18.
Greek police arrested a 26-year-old man on Sunday night with graphic details emerging about the crime and the testimony his wife provided that led to his capture.
And police sources revealed that the man – who had converted to Christianity – told his wife that he had argued with Ms Ross because she wanted him to join her ‘stricter’ Christian group.
Ms Ross, 38, who was from Edinburgh, had been a regular visitor to Greece over the past seven years volunteering with NGOs helping refugees, homeless people and other vulnerable groups.
It has emerged that Ms Ross had previously volunteered with the One Heart organisation when in Greece which specialises in providing medical support to refugees, particularly those from Afghanistan or Iran.

A very large downside of all of the Abrahamic religious sects is their adamancy about ‘belief’ and their adamancy about their interpretations of scripture. Belief is always dubious in general and in its particulars. Few if any humans can be sure of any of it. Religions which do not recognize this obvious philosophical condition tend to become rigid, even fanatical. The psychologies engendered by Abrahamic beliefs are neither intellectually open and honest nor wholesome. They are not ethically or rationally sound. Buddhists can always get along with Christians or any Abrahamic sect, but the reverse is not always possible. I have a Christian friend, a good friend, who honestly believes Jesus loves me so much I will go to hell for all eternity if I don’t love Him back. This friend is a good person and has backed away from his rigid framing of Christianity, but still, it’s still in there. Overall, Abrahamic rigidity blinds adherents by preventing psychological and spiritual development. This lack of development within all of the Abrahamics is right now contributing to the rapid downfall of the West because: 1) the Christians cannot embrace the possibility and thus defend themselves against the invasion and infiltration of other Abrahamics who hate them; and 2) the other Abrahamics rigidly believe it is God’s Will that they must infiltrate, conquer and destroy the West. Virtually all of them are delighted to be part of the downfall of the West; it is their rigid belief that that is God’s Will. Guys, all of that that is bronze age nonsense. Virtually all Western atheists who have left Christianity, even hate Christianity, typically retain a crazy species of adamancy because that is the basic mindset inculcated in them from their experiences of the world around them. In place of Christianity they substitute, identity politics, woke, climate change, communism, welcome the invaders, anti-religious fanaticism, or,, worst of all, a dull sense of meaninglessness because they cannot find a way to fill the vacuum of non-belief. Guys, you do not need to have a rigid belief to experience spiritual joy and indescribable contentment. ABN
