The half-naked body of a Polish hotel worker who was allegedly raped and murdered has been found in a bag in Kos in a case that has shocked Greece.
The strangled remains of Anastazja Rubińska were found by Greek police after a week-long investigation following the 27-year-old’s disappearance.
Her devastated father, Andrzej Rubińska, said she was very confident and “thought everyone was friendly,” according to the Polish newspaper. One: ‘She was a good girl, albeit reckless.’
Rubińska was last seen at a local cafe on Monday, June 12, and was found dead about half a mile from the home of a 32-year-old Bangladeshi man who has since been arrested, and 550 yards from where her mobile phone was found on Saturday.
Police have now confirmed that the body belonged to Rubińska, who was from Wroclaw and worked with her Polish boyfriend in a five-star hotel in the tourist town of Marmari.

Rubińska’s father said his wife had traveled to identify their daughter’s body.
He said her body was in such bad shape after six days in the heat that the coroner reportedly had to “prepare the corpse properly so my wife wouldn’t get a shock.”
When his wife flew to Greece on Friday, he said he already had a bad feeling and told his wife she was “only going for the body.”
For the heartbroken father, who was left behind in Poland, there is no doubt that she was ‘kidnapped, raped and murdered’ after she disappeared a week ago.
He said she burned her hand a few days before she went missing and in her search for remedies had the “stupid idea to smoke a joint,” which some men she met at the market allegedly wanted to arrange for her .
“They tricked her, apparently waiting for dark. Maybe they put something in her drink in the few hours she was with them,’ her father speculated to Onet about his trusting daughter.

The arrested Bangladeshi man, 32, who was picked up by police with scratches on his face and hands, is said to have been the last person to see her alive.
According to Greek media, Rubińska’s DNA and hair were found in the man’s apartment, along with a plane ticket he bought to Italy, which departed the day after Rubińska’s disappearance.
Rubińska’s brother paid tribute to his sister on social media, writing: “It’s hard for me to write this… But rest in peace sister.
“Be blessed in the next world, and rest assured that justice will be done.”
Now Poland has called on the Greek authorities to hand over the details of the investigation.
Polish Justice Minister Zbigniew Ziobro posted on Twitter today that he had “ordered an investigation” and that “the case will be dealt with by the district prosecutor’s office in Wroclaw.”
He added: “Prosecutors will immediately ask Greek investigators for evidence.”
