THESSALONIKI, Greece—Two women and a girl who were believed to be migrants were found dead with their throats slashed on Oct. 10, near Greece’s northeast border with Turkey, Greek authorities said.

The victims appeared to be of North African, Middle Eastern or Asian origin, but their nationalities and identities were unknown, police said. An initial examination of the bodies suggested the three were killed about four days earlier, Coroner Pavlos Pavlidis said.
