A murder trial has begun in Greece, 17 years after a Scottish woman was killed on a Greek island. The case, which has taken nearly two decades to reach court, involves the death of a mother from Scotland. Details in the available reporting are limited, but the long delay between the crime and trial reflects the pace of the Greek judicial system for serious criminal cases.
