Police last night arrested a 24-year-old for questioning in connection with an attempted murder that took place on January 9th in the Larnaca district community of Kornos against a 30-year-old.
A warrant was pending against the Syrian and authorities had publicised his photo and personal details on January 15th in efforts to locate him.
According to the evidence, around two in the afternoon on January 9th, the 30 year old drove to an area outside Kornos to meet unknown individuals about a car sale.
On his arrival, a vehicle approached him and four men exited, two of whom were allegedly armed.
On seeing them, the 30 year old attempted to flee and the victim was subsequently shot multiple times, resulting in injuries to his hand and shoulder blade.
The Syrian man was remanded in custody this morning by the Larnaca District Court.
