Greek police arrested two suspects in Thessaloniki today over the murder of 49-year-old businessman Stavros Demosthenous, who was shot dead in his luxury car in Limassol on 17 October.
The two men, both 28 years old, are second cousins and are considered key figures in the case, according to information obtained by Phileleftheros.
Officers from the Greek police’s Northern Greece Organised Crime Unit made the arrests this morning following European arrest warrants issued against them for the suspected premeditated murder of Demosthenous.
Cyprus police thanked Greek police in a statement for their excellent cooperation and the determination with which authorities in both countries acted.
Investigators believe the arrest of the two suspects may unlock crucial evidence that will shed light on the motives and circumstances of Stavros Demosthenous’s cold-blooded murder.
Demosthenous was killed just 500 metres from his home in Limassol.
