Initial reports suggest a husband may have stabbed his wife during a fight.
The woman, 41, was found lying dead on the ground in an apartment complex when Police arrived.
Eyewitnesses told Phileleftheros that loud arguments and screams were heard from the couple’s apartment this morning. At one point, both the woman and the man appeared from different exits of the apartment building on the ground floor, both covered in blood.
The witnesses said they attempted to provide first aid to the woman who was lying bleeding on the ground but was still alive at the time.
The man, also covered in blood, remained at the scene until the ambulance arrived.
The woman was confirmed dead upon arrival at Paphos General Hospital.
The husband’s condition is described as non-life-threatening and is currently hospitalised under guard.
