The Brit was discovered stuffed in a suitcase in an abandoned building on July 18, three days after she first went missing on July 15.

suggested that he visited Elisabeth’s apartment on the night of her disappearance.

She said she woke up in the early hours of July 15 to find him missing – and when she traced his location using Find My Friends it showed him at the Scotswoman’s apartment.

George Kalliakmanis, an ex-cop who heads the police union in Athens, told the Sun: “He went to the flat where she was staying for a reason and it’s not thought that reason is because he wanted to commit robbery and steal her cards.

“What was it? Nothing can be ruled out. Did she reject him? Nothing can be ruled out.”

Elisabeth reportedly met Ahmadzai and his wife Alaina while volunteering for a refugee charity.

The flat she was staying in was provided for her by the pair’s NGO – meaning that Ahmadzai had a key to get in.

Another source, well briefed on the investigation, told the Sun:

“It can’t be excluded that he had feelings for Ross who rejected him.”

The source added: “She was very religious and his wife was her friend. We don’t think she would have gone there. Was that the source of a row that took place in the flat on the night of the 15th?”

Greek Police previously revealed that the Afghan migrant confessed to dumping the body and stealing Elisabeth’s bank cards.

But Ahmadzai insists that the Scotswoman was already dead when he went to visit her at her apartment.

Her body was later discovered by a homeless man in a derelict building in Kypseli across the road from the Panellinios Boxing club – the gym where boxer Ahmadzai trained.

Ahmadzai had posted a selfie on his Instagram account in May wearing the same shorts as the man in the CCTV.

His wife Alaina – with whom he shares a young child – also raised suspicions with police after receiving a series of flashy gifts.

Ahmadzai had given her 2,550 euros (£2,200) and a new 17 Pro which Alaina feared may have been purchased using Elisabeth’s stolen bank cards.

Greek police told The Times : “The testimony of the wife has been crucial and it would appear that she did not want to be part of the crime committed by her husband.

“Without her and CCTV evidence, we would not have been able to find this man.”

Ahmadzai was subsequently , robbery and illegal possession of a weapon.

Loved ones say Elisabeth Ross had an “unstoppable passion” for helping people and paid a heart-breaking tribute to the “good Samaritan”.

Pastors Andrew and Sue Owen from the church she attended in Scotland said: “Lisa will always be remembered for her unstoppable passion to help those who were less fortunate than herself.

“This passion and deep sense of calling sometimes took her to challenging places.

“Lisa was determined not to leave this world the same way she found it.”

They added that she cared and loved people from all over the world – which is how she came into contact with her suspected killer.

Ahmadzai fled Afghanistan in 2016 – and reportedly paid smugglers to bring him to Britain, The Times reported.

He crossed through Pakistan, Iran, and Turkey before eventually settling in Greece.

He met his wife Alaina Hall, from Georgia in the US, while volunteering as a translator at a migrant camp.

The pair bonded after the Afghan converted to Christianity in 2017 – and eventually got married in 2023.

Alaina wrote online: “I had seen his growth and his heart for the Lord and it was so attractive to me.

“We prayed and prayed about pursuing each other, seeking God’s approval first. He seemed to swing open the doors for us.”

But her parents had always been against the union.

Her aunt, Leanne Hall, said that her brother Thomas, 65, and sister-in-law Susan, 61, had always harboured doubts over the union.

In an interview with the Daily Mail , she said: “I’ve never met him, I’ve only heard about him. But I can tell you my brother and sister-in-law never wanted them to get married.”
