The Greek police have arrested a man over the killing of an American scientist whose body was found last week in a cave on the island of Crete, the authorities said on Tuesday. Her remains were discovered on July 8, six days after she was last seen alive. A coroner found that she had been asphyxiated, and ruled that her death had resulted from a criminal act. A 27-year-old man has been arrested, a police spokesman, Theodoros Chronopoulos, said on Tuesday. Local news reports described the suspect, who name was not released, as a farmer with two children, who is the son of a priest.
