Police investigating the death of a Scottish woman whose body was found in a suitcase in Greece say they could determine how she died "in the coming days" as they are fast-tracking toxicology tests.
Elisabeth-Jane Ross, 38, was found in an abandoned building in the Kypseli district of the city on 18 July, reportedly by a homeless man.
The 38-year-old, known to her family as Lisa, is thought to have travelled to Greece from Edinburgh in late June, and went missing on 15 July.
Greek authorities are also looking to trace Lisa's American friends, who they said were also staying in Kypseli.

Police cannot yet confirm whether Lisa's death is considered murder.
A post-mortem examination is under way and toxicology tests to determine the cause of death could help confirm if foul play was involved.
Test results can take anywhere from several weeks to a few months depending on the complexity of the case and the workload of forensic laboratories.
