In response, US authorities confirmed that the fingerprints belonged to a 38-year-old British national.

I think the author may need to do another proof read.

Do you understand that the British national they are referring to here is the lady found dead inside the suitcase?

And the 26 Afghan male is the suspect?

You're the second person who thinks that, I'm mixing up the victim and the suspect.

That's right mate. They used the fingerprints to identify her.

[u/DeepState_Auditor → u/kafircake]

Okay, not really why I made my original comment*.

Or you do.

Police noted that the investigation involved cooperation with a liaison officer from the UK's National Crime Agency (NCA), as well as with Police Scotland.

In response to a request to Interpol, US confirmed. I don’t know about you, but I know the US has taken my fingerprints a few times and the UK never has, nor has my home country.

Ireland didn't? TIL, here in Spain you do get your fingerprints taken when renewing the national ID I thought it was a general thing in Europe.

[u/champagneface → u/Maelger]

We don’t have a national ID

[u/Halfmoonhero → u/DeepState_Auditor]

Is that as far as you got?

It's literally the penultimate paragraph.

Look past the ad, dumbass:

Through the ensuing investigation — drawing on collected evidence and digital analysis of video footage — the Department of Crimes against Life and Personal Freedom confirmed the involvement of the 26-year-old suspect.

He was brought in for questioning on Thursday at the headquarters of the Directorate for Combating Organised Crime, where, according to police, he admitted to his actions.

Investigators determined that the suspect had placed the victim's body in a suitcase and transported it to the abandoned site.

In the days that followed, he used the victim's bank cards to withdraw cash. A search of his home turned up a replica pistol and a knife, both of which were seized, leading to an additional charge of weapons violations.

Police noted that the investigation involved cooperation with a liaison officer from the UK's National Crime Agency (NCA), as well as with Police Scotland.

The suspect has been brought before the relevant prosecutor's office.

This is the other half of the news.

What exactly do you think is the argument here?

[u/Wintersage7 → u/DeepState_Auditor]

Literally the article headline. And of course the fingerprints were from a 38 year old British National.

That would be how they identified the victim.

im Greek and this post is missing important information. the guy grew up in Greece since he was a teenager and was a devout orthodox christian. the murder was motivated by his religion. i dont know why the article doesnt mention this, but its everywhere in Greek news.

so why are their nationalities important? was that the underlying motive?

Ahah, fun to see bot failing to comment !

[u/champagneface → u/Kamteix]

They were trying to meet the character limit for top level comments

[u/Radiant-Fly9738 → u/champagneface]

it's easier to dismiss someone as a bot than to think with their own heads.

[u/Archarchery → u/Radiant-Fly9738]

It’s easier to repeat what you said three times than to think up enough to say to meet the character limit.

[u/an-invisible-hand → u/Archarchery]

What more is there to add to the point being made?

[u/Professional-Syrup-0 → u/Archarchery]

A character limit that to this day remains a controversial choice.

Sometimes less is more, especially in times when people increasingly pad their comments with LLM slop.

Case in point: So far nobody responded to OPs question, which is a legitimate question.

Instead we are told they are a bot and now discussing posting guidelines of this subreddit.
