A 50-year-old man has been remanded in custody for eight days following his arrest on suspicion of the premeditated murder of his brother-in-law, 43-year-old Stelios Stylianou, in Peyia.
The Paphos District Court granted the remand to allow police to complete their investigation.
Details of the incident, which took place during a family dinner at the suspect’s home, were revealed during the hearing. Following a heated argument, the suspect allegedly demanded his relatives leave the premises and physically assaulted his mother-in-law and the victim’s mother. This escalated the situation, leading to the victim’s death.
The victim’s 22-year-old son was an eyewitness to the events, police said.
The investigation is ongoing.
