A 42-year-old woman was found dead in her apartment in Thessaloniki, northern Greece, and there is suspicion that her own father is responsible for the crime. The victim's body was discovered by her brother at her residence in the Sykies district on Tuesday. A forensic examination indicated that she had been suffocated.

Police on Wednesday detained a woman in connection with the disappearance of a 10-year-old girl in Thessaloniki last week.

The woman is believed to be an acquaintance of the child's family and may in the past have lived in the same neighborhood as her.

Officers found her on the beach of the town of Katerini and led her to Thessaloniki's Security Division.

The blood tests run on a 10-year-old girl who was found in a district of Thessaloniki on Saturday after having gone missing for three days showed traces of psychotropic substances, law enforcement and judicial authorities said on Tuesday.

Unidentified vandals early on Monday wreaked damage to the branch of a bank in the outskirts of Thessaloniki, in northern Greece.
