Pizzeria boss 'met violent death' | |
(about 3 hours later) | |
A manager whose body was found in a restaurant in Glasgow's west end met a violent death, police have said. | |
A murder inquiry has been launched after Eleni Pachou's body was found in Di Maggio's pizzeria in Ruthven Lane by a staff member at 0820 GMT on Friday. | |
It is thought the 25-year-old, who was Greek, may have been stabbed as the restaurant closed late on Thursday. | |
Anyone who was in the area between 2345 GMT on Thursday and 0820 on Friday have been asked to contact police. | |
Strathclyde Police launched a murder inquiry after a post-mortem examination was carried out on Ms Pachou, who lived in the city's North Frederick Street. | |
'Sparkling woman' | |
Det ch insp Michael Feighan said: "Eleni was the victim of a violent death and our number one priority is to trace the person or persons responsible for this horrific crime. | |
"What we need is support and assistance from members of the public who may know something that could prove vital to the investigation, no matter how insignificant it may seem." | |
A spokesman for Di Maggio's said the murder was "a terrible shock to everyone". | |
"Eleni was a beautiful, sparkling young woman who was a valuable and very well-liked member of our team," he said. | |
"She first worked with us as a waitress for 12 months, until May 2007. | |
"When she rejoined us in October last year her obvious talent and flair saw her win a place on our trainee management programme, where she was excelling. | |
"Everyone here is absolutely stunned by this tragedy and our thoughts are very much with her family." |
