Greek police say a man has admitted killing a Scottish woman whose body was found in a suitcase in an abandoned building.

The 38-year-old was found in Athens days after she was reported missing.

Local officers launched an investigation with cooperation from authorities in the US, the UK and Scotland, and now say they have arrested a 26-year-old man linked to the case.

UK correspondent Gavin Grey says it's believed the suspect was from Afghanistan - and the victim volunteered at an organisation to help migrants.
