An Afghan boxer suspected of killing a Scottish woman in Greece has arrived in court in Athens for a second time. Sharif Ahmadzai, 26, from Afghanistan, faces charges of homicide with intent, robbery, and weapons offences.

He is accused of killing aid worker Elisabeth Ross, 38, whose body was discovered by a homeless man in a derelict building in the Kypseli area of the Greek capital on July 18. Ahmadzai arrived at the Athens court on Thursday morning in an unmarked grey car, but was not photographed.

On Wednesday, he was assigned a court-appointed lawyer and given time to prepare his defence. Ahmadzai was initially detained on illegal weapons possession charges and now faces a charge of homicide with intent, as well as allegations that he used the victim's bank cards to steal more than €10,000 (£8,500) from her accounts. Homicide with intent is equivalent to a murder charge in Scots law.

Greek officials have said he admitted moving the body but denied the homicide allegations.
