Limassol CID is conducting a full investigation into the shooting of a 64-year-old man’s vehicle parked outside his home in Mouttagiaka.
Investigators are examining various possible motives behind the attack, including whether the perpetrators intended to send a message to members of the victim’s family.
According to philenews sources, neighbours were awakened by the two gunshots and rushed to see what had happened. Police sources indicate that the 64-year-old has no prior history with law enforcement.
Authorities have taken statements and are reviewing CCTV footage from the area that might have captured the perpetrators’ movements and escape route.
The incident occurred around 1:10 AM when unknown assailants fired at the 64-year-old’s pickup truck with a hunting rifle before fleeing the scene.
The incident was reported to authorities approximately 40 minutes later, prompting an immediate police response.
The scene was cordoned off and placed under guard, with forensic examinations conducted at first light to collect evidence from the site.
