Investigators have secured court orders to access telecommunications data of suspects held in connection with the murder of Stavros Demosthenous, who was shot last Friday in front of his child while sitting in a luxury vehicle.
Limassol CID detectives obtained judicial warrants to access both telecommunications data and private communications content of suspects in custody, reliable sources told Phileleftheros.
Court grants access to suspects’ communications data
Investigators will also examine the victim’s mobile phone to establish potential motives for the murder, according to the sources.
The telecommunications data is expected to yield a substantial volume of investigative material requiring careful examination. The data should also clarify the suspected roles played by those in custody.
Sources indicate a 30-year-old convicted prisoner interviewed by investigators has not provided clarification in the case.
The prisoner reportedly denies any involvement and rejects accusations made by 30-year-old suspect C.S. regarding his role in purchasing the motorcycle used in the crime, claiming the latter is lying.
Health Ministry files complaint over leaked autopsy photos
In a separate development, the Ministry of Health has filed a formal complaint with police regarding leaked photographs of Demosthenous’ body, requesting a criminal investigation into possible offences.
The photos have been circulating for days and are now reportedly in the possession of ordinary citizens, causing serious concern among authorities.
Five arrests have been made so far, with four related to the purchase of the motorcycle used by the perpetrators to flee the scene.
