Tests to determine how aid worker died in Greece face month-long delay
Lisa Ross had been volunteering with a refugee support group based in Athens
Results of tests to establish how a Scottish aid worker died in Greece could take another month, the BBC has learned.
The body of Elisabeth Ross, who was 38 and from Edinburgh, was discovered in a suitcase by a homeless man in a derelict building in the Kypseli area of Athens on 18 July.
Sharif Ahmadzai, 26, a boxer from Afghanistan, has been accused of her murder as well as robbery and weapons offences.
Greek police previously said they were fast-tracking tests as a priority.
But on Saturday, spokesperson Konstantina Dimoglidou told BBC Scotland News the test results could take "at least another month".
Ahmadzai was initially detained on illegal weapons possession charges and is facing a charge of homicide with intent, as well as allegations that he stole more than €10,000 (£8,500) from the victim's bank accounts using her bank cards.
The police union in Greece said that initially, the coroner's report cited an undetermined cause of death, as the body showed no signs of external trauma.
It said following a more detailed investigation, autopsy and post-mortem examination, "asphyxiation was listed as the probable cause of death".
