A sixth individual has been arrested in connection with the execution style murder of Limassol football executive and businessman Stavros Demosthenous, 49, last Friday October 17th, just after nine in the morning near a busy coastal city highway.
Police reported the arrest of a 51 year old man in order ‘to facilitate the on-going investigation into the killing’, following testimony against him.
Four of the arrests are related to the purchase of the getaway motorbike used by the assassins, minutes after the crime, after abandoning the murder’s white ban, subsequently torched.
It is believed that the individuals in custody are the logistics crew, as police are now firmly focusing on evidence that might lead to the masterminds, including the detainees’ mobile phone data released in the past week.
Philenews sources say that the 51 year old’s detention is paving the way for fast developments in the case, including the arrest of additional suspects, even before the end of the day.
