A 26-year-old man arrested in connection with the death of a Scottish woman in Greece has been named locally.
Sharif Ahmadzai, from Afghanistan, is expected to appear in court in Athens on Wednesday.
The body of Elisabeth Jane Ross, 38, was found in a suitcase in an abandoned building in the Kypseli district of Athens on 18 July, several days after she was reported missing.
Ahmadzai is a champion boxer who travelled to Greece as a refugee.
The BBC understands Ahmadzai lives in Athens with his American wife and child.
He is understood to have left Afghanistan after being orphaned aged 15.
His father, a commander in the Afghan army, was shot and killed and his mother and siblings were killed by a suicide bomber in Kabul.
He travelled to Greece via Iran and Turkey, according to the charity, external The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC), before settling in a refugee camp on the island of Lesbos.
It is understood this is where he met his wife and converted to Christianity. The pair then set up the charity Love Every Nation Athens to help other refugees.
It is thought that he met Ross through the charity.

Police said Elisabeth Jane Ross - known to family and friends as Lisa - had arrived in Greece on 26 June and stayed in the Kertasini area of Piraeus until 10 July.
She told Greek friends that she was going to Kypseli to meet "American friends" on 15 July.
Police said the man they arrested had taken her body to the abandoned site in a suitcase, then used her bank cards to withdraw money.
The building where the body was found is around 20 minutes away from where Ross has been staying.
One message reads: "For Elisabeth, May you rest in peace and may your memory live on in the hearts of us all. With deepest sympathy and respect. You will not be forgotten."
During searches of Ahmadzai's home, officers claimed to have recovered and seized a replica pistol and a knife.
Police said a toxicology report was being fast-tracked to identify the cause of death.
They said they were also looking to trace Ross's American friends.
