Authorities have identified the body found inside a suitcase on a sidewalk in Agios Panteleimonas, Athens, on the evening of Sunday, November 8. A passerby had made the discovery.

According to reports, the victim was a 24-year-old woman from Burkina Faso. She was identified through her fingerprints.

She had been reported missing to the Kypseli police station on October 29.

The body was found on Alkamenous Street, at its intersection with Charissis Street, after a foreign national born in 1997 went to the local police station. He told officers that a strong odor was coming from a suitcase left at the spot. Police rushed to the scene. When they opened the suitcase, they found a human body in an advanced state of decomposition.

Investigators estimate that she had died roughly five to seven days before she was found.
