Limassol CID detectives are waiting for results from dozens of forensic exhibits collected in the murder investigation of 49-year-old Stavros Demosthenous.
A 30-year-old convict currently in custody is expected to appear before Limassol District Court today for a renewal of his detention order.
According to previous court proceedings, investigators are still searching for two additional suspects believed to be involved in the case. Despite being wanted persons, authorities have not yet published their photographs, which has raised questions.
Beyond examining telecommunications data from the suspects, authorities are reviewing footage from numerous CCTV cameras at the murder scenes while awaiting results from scientific analyses of various recovered exhibits.
According to Phileleftheros sources, a ballistics report on two burnt cartridge cases found in the stolen white van is expected to be completed in the coming days, along with analysis of other evidence from the murder scene.
Our newspaper understands that the cartridge cases will be compared with items stored in the ballistics collection at Police Headquarters’ Forensic Investigation Service to determine whether they match or are linked to any other unsolved criminal acts.
The same sources indicate that the luxury vehicle driven by the victim’s 18-year-old son was hit by at least eight shots, with some bullets ricocheting and creating additional holes in the vehicle.
