A Greek court orders a 26-year-old Afghan boxer accused in Athens of killing a Scottish woman to remain in custody pending trial, legal and police sources say. The accused is charged with manslaughter, robbery, and illegal gun possession. On Thursday, he refuses to enter a plea and exercises his right to silence, not responding to the charges. The case also depends on evidence still being prepared, as toxicology test results have not yet been completed. The lawyer for the accused says he is awaiting additional evidence. Authorities say the woman’s body is found in a suitcase in Athens. The court’s decision to keep him jailed applies while the proceedings continue, including review of the charges and receipt of pending forensic results. All cited reports present the same outcome and procedural posture: the suspect is detained pending trial because he did not plead and further evidence is expected.
