Afghan boxer accused of killing Scottish aid worker back in court - Published An Afghan boxer suspected of killing a Scottish woman in Greece has arrived in court in Athens for a second time. Sharif Ahmadzai, who is 26 and from Afghanistan, faces charges of homicide with intent, robbery and weapons offences.

Ahmadzai arrived back in court in Athens on Thursday morning in an unmarked Grey car. 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.
