Developments are unfolding rapidly in the investigation of Stavros Demosthenous’s murder in Limassol. According to sources, an arrest warrant has been issued for a 44-year-old man from Nicosia who owns the motorcycle discovered earlier today.
According to information obtained by Philenews, investigators have identified another vehicle used by the perpetrators in the execution of Stavros Demosthenous to aid their escape.
The investigation has intensified, with sources reporting that high-ranking members of the police leadership are currently at Limassol Police Headquarters coordinating efforts.
The vehicle is a high-displacement, dark-coloured scooter-type motorcycle believed to have been used by the perpetrators to escape after burning the van used in the commission of the crime.
Earlier today, the autopsy on the victim’s body was conducted at Nicosia General Hospital by medical examiner Nicolas Charalambous, with the procedure concluding shortly before 1:00 p.m.
Sources confirm that at least two bullets struck the victim in the head, with the medical examiner determining that death resulted from severe craniocerebral injury caused by gunshot wounds.
Investigations continue on multiple fronts. Authorities have already taken several statements and are collecting intelligence, examining evidence recovered from the scene, and analysing video footage.
Police are working to piece together the elements of the case amid significant public pressure for answers.
