In the picturesque island of Kos, a horrific incident has unraveled, casting a dark shadow over the serene Greek landscape. A young Polish woman, who had been missing, was found lifeless, her demise stirring up a storm of questions and suspicions. A Bangladeshi suspect has been taken into custody, and the Polish government has expressed its desire to extradite the accused for a trial in Poland.
The tranquil environment of Kos was shattered by the tragic discovery of the lifeless body of a 27-year-old Polish woman named Anastasia. She was found under a tree, her body concealed in a bag and covered with branches. This gruesome discovery was made approximately a kilometer from the residence of a 32-year-old Bangladeshi man, who has since been apprehended by the police.
Shockingly, Anastasia was discovered without clothes and her body was wrapped in a sheet, according to media reports. Early indications from the investigation seem to suggest that the cause of her demise was strangulation.

A Second Suspect Under Scrutiny
Aside from the Bangladeshi man, the authorities have turned their attention to his Pakistani roommate. Surveillance footage from nearby residences allegedly shows the Bangladeshi entering his domicile with 27-year-old Anastasia. However, his roommate has rejected these claims, causing the police to suspect he may be withholding the truth.
Analyzing genetic material has been a crucial part of this investigation, as Anastasia’s DNA was found in the Bangladeshi’s residence.
Anastasia was last spotted at a mini market in the Marmari region on a Monday night. Reports suggest that she had consumed alcohol and had encountered a group of men from Pakistan and Bangladesh. Anastasia contacted her compatriot for the last time and informed him that someone would be escorting her back on a motorcycle. Unfortunately, she never returned.
The alarm was raised about Anastasia’s disappearance the following day by her partner, leading to the apprehension of the 32-year-old Bangladeshi man on kidnapping charges.
The Mysterious Mobile Phone
An intriguing detail of this case revolves around Anastasia’s mobile phone. It was discovered in an abandoned building in Marmari by a security guard. The SIM card had been removed from the device.
Intriguingly, the location where the phone was discovered doesn’t align with the last signal picked up by the cell towers, which was in the Tigaki area, or the place where the Bangladeshi suspect claimed to have left Anastasia. The phone was instead found near the Bangladeshi’s residence, suggesting that it may have been deliberately discarded there.
Security footage shows Anastasia entering a barbecue shop on the fateful Monday. Dressed in a Hawaiian shirt and shorts, with her personal items in a bag on her back, she can be seen heading to the counter to order and pay.
Meanwhile, physical evidence of a struggle was found on the 32-year-old Bangladeshi, who is the primary suspect in this case.
The International Implications
The case has garnered international attention, with the Polish Prime Minister announcing that his government will seek the extradition of the Bangladeshi suspect from Greece. The intention is for the accused to stand trial in a Polish court and if found guilty, receive the maximum possible sentence.
Anastasia comes from the city of Wrocław in Poland and had been working in a hotel on the island of Kos. On the night of her disappearance, she had communicated with her boyfriend, also a Polish national, to inform him of her state of intoxication and that someone would be bringing her on a motorcycle to their meeting point.
The Bangladeshi man was the last individual she is known to have interacted with prior to her disappearance. He had even bought a plane ticket to Italy, further adding to the mystery of the case.
The Call for Justice
The Polish Prime Minister, Mateusz Morawiecki, has expressed his determination to ensure that the suspect faces serious consequences for his alleged actions. This determination extends to requesting Greece for the extradition of the suspect to face trial in Poland and if convicted, receive the maximum possible punishment.
This tragic incident has stirred up conversations about the safety of migrants and the potential threats they might face. While the investigation continues, the grief of losing a young life in such a horrific manner resonates with everyone, reminding us of the importance of ensuring safety and justice for all.
The shocking incident involving the young Polish woman in Kos has shaken communities across borders. As the investigation unfolds, we’re reminded of the horrifying realities that can lie beneath the surface of even the most idyllic settings. The quest for justice continues, both in Greece and Poland, as the world watches keenly, hoping for answers to the many questions that this tragic incident has raised.
