The death of a 30-year-old woman found dead in a flat in the Germasogeia area on Sunday morning was caused by criminal activity. The victim has been identified as Victory Osarumen Thompson, 30, from Nigeria.
Investigators awaited the initial autopsy results conducted by forensic pathologists Angeliki Papetta and Orthodoxos Orthodoxou, which confirmed that the woman’s death was caused by criminal activity.
According to information from philenews, investigative authorities have testimonies from residents of neighbouring flats who reported hearing shouting from the flat where the four women were staying in the early hours of Sunday morning.
At the same time, information indicates that the four women had been out at a bar in the area earlier and returned to the flat around 5am.
The women are reported to have stayed in the specific flat for the last four days, with the same information stating that two are legally in Cyprus, whilst one is reportedly staying in the country without the necessary permits.
According to investigations, the 30-year-old has injuries on various parts of her body. As part of the evaluation of testimonies and evidence, two 24-year-olds and one 35-year-old, all women, were arrested.
The three arrested women were questioned and made various claims that are being investigated.
In statements at the murder scene, Assistant Police Director and Press Spokesman of Limassol CID, Lefteris Kyriacou, said that around 11am they were informed by the Ambulance Service about a call to a flat in the Potamos Germasogeia area, where a woman aged approximately 30 was found unconscious and confirmed dead.
The formal post-mortem will be conducted on Monday morning, whilst Limassol CID continues investigations.
The three women are expected to appear before Limassol District Court on Monday for a remand application.
