BOMBSHELL new claims have emerged from the wife of the Afghan boxer accused of killing a Brit in Athens as her full testimony is released.

Sharif Ahmadzai, 26, covered part of his face with his jumper as he was hauled back into court today by armed and masked officers over the murder probe.

Ahmadzai is accused of killing Christian aid worker Elisabeth-Jane Ross, 38, after she was discovered by a homeless man in a derelict building in Athens on July 18.

Greek police arrested him after his own wife’s brave testimony saw her raise several concerns over his behaviour.

Elisabeth reportedly met Ahmadzai and American wife Alaina while volunteering for a refugee charity in Athens in February 2026.

Alaina’s whole testimony has now been revealed as she described Elisabeth as “a very pleasant and sweet person, kind-hearted, with a good soul”.

She told police the last time she saw Elisabeth was on July 12 – just a few days before she is believed to have been killed on July 15.

Alaina claims Elisabeth asked her to go on a walk which Ahmadzai later joined the women on.

The mum-of-one then said she left her husband and the Scottish charity worker alone as she went home.

Ahmadzai and Elisabeth stayed in contact for a few days afterwards including the aid worker asking her suspected killer to help deliver bibles.

On July 15, Alaina says she saw a text message sent from Elisabeth to Ahmadzai which read: “Thank you for your intention to come with me.”

Later that night, Alaina claimed in her testimony that she woke up and found her husband had left their home without any warning.

She said: “I checked his location on my cell phone. I saw that he was inside the apartment on Rethymno Street.

“I was surprised because there was no particular reason for him to be there at that time.”

She phoned him up and he said he was out watching a football match at a cafe and had headed inside the apartment to just use the toilet.

Ahmadzai has admitted to going to Elisabeth’s flat on July 15 which is where Alaina’s phone records show he was.

At the time, Alaina said she believed his football story as one of his family members had died on the same day.

Across the next two weeks, Ahmadzai appeared to be back to his happy self and even bought Alaina a flashy new phone, his wife said.

During this time, news broke that a woman had been found dead inside a suitcase close to where the couple lived.

The victim’s identity was yet to be revealed but Alaina says she woke up in the middle of the night on July 29 and thought it could be Elisabeth.

The pair hadn’t spoken for weeks now so Alaina quickly messaged the Brit and received two concerning replies.

Alaina said: “These messages were not in Lisa’s style both in terms of her level of English and the use of emojis that she never used.”

After failing to reach her on a call, Alaina said she started to think about the possibility that Elisabeth could be the woman in the suitcase.

She later told police: “All of the above made me feel strange. Especially combining the dates, the messages and my husband’s behavior.

“I have various thoughts that make me feel uncomfortable.”

After the body was identified as Elisabeth, the wife said she became so afraid that she and her husband left their home and spent the night in different places.

Alaina also revealed she had received threatening messages with photos of herself and her baby, as well as threats against her family.

Investigators are alleging these messages would have been sent by Ahmadzai in order to remove suspicion from him.

Ahmadzai denies murdering Elisabeth and is expected to be formally read his charges today in court.

These are expected to include intentional homicide, robbery and illegal possession of a weapon.

Ahmadzai was seen entering the Court of First Instance in Athens at around 10.40am local time today, in the back of a grey Honda i3.

It marks his second hearing after he was taken to court on Wednesday morning wearing the same outfit.

After a brief hearing and testimony, Ahmadzai was led away and given until this morning to prepare his defence alongside a court-appointed lawyer.

The suspect has already admitted to putting Elisabeth’s body into a suitcase and taking her to the abandoned site.

He told authorities he started to “panic” when he discovered Elisabeth dead at an apartment she was staying at on July 15.

Ahmadzai claims he fled the scene and bumped into a mystery old man who supposedly advised him to dump the remains in an abandoned building.

The suspect said he then went back to the apartment the next day and placed Elisabeth’s body in a suitcase and drove it through Athens.

He claims to have met the same man who advised him the day before as Ahmadzai told cops: “He told me to leave the suitcase with him and he would take care of it.”

Ahmadzai has also confessed to withdrawing €10,000 (£8,500) from ATMs in Greece using stolen credit cards that belonged to the victim.

The Athens Courthouse is located on Evelpidon Street in the Greek capital – just a few minutes away from where Elisabeth’s body was found.

She was found stuffed inside a suitcase and is believed to have been dumped several days before being found.

A post-mortem exam has still not helped determine the cause of death due to the body decomposing too much.

Ahmadzai fled Afghanistan in 2016 after his family were wiped out by the Taliban and reportedly paid smugglers to bring him to Britain before eventually settling in Greece.

It comes as the Red Cross removed a film about Ahmadzai’s struggles during the journey from Afghanistan to Europe as a 15-year-old boy.

Ahmadzai, who worked with the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC), starred in the four-minute biopic, titled Game of Life: The Story of Sharif.

It was published on YouTube in December 2016 with a narrator calling Ahmadzai’s journey to Lesbos as “worthy of a Hollywood movie”.

Almost a decade on, the IFRC announced they would now be taking down the film from all platforms while the investigations into Ahmadzai continue.

Charity spokesman Scott Craig told The Telegraph: “First and foremost, our thoughts are with the family and friends of Elisabeth-Jane Ross.

“The video will shortly no longer be publicly accessible. We will keep this
under review as the court proceedings continue.”
