The Nicosia CID is investigating a case of premeditated murder and attempted murder, according to Philenews. A 44-year-old woman from Vietnam was found dead in an apartment in the Ayios Antonios area, whilst a second woman is being treated in critical condition following injuries sustained at a nearby location.
At around 11.30 p.m. on Saturday night, police received a report of an injured woman at the intersection of Digenis Akritas and Larnaca avenues. Officers who rushed to the scene found an Asian woman with wounds to her neck and back. She was transported by ambulance to Nicosia General Hospital, where she underwent surgery.
During investigations in the area, police discovered traces of blood outside a residential building leading to an apartment. There they found the 44-year-old unconscious on the floor with wounds to her neck and head. Forensic pathologists Angeliki Papetta and Orthodox Orthodoxou conducted an autopsy at the scene and certified her death.
Both locations are under police guard. The Nicosia CID is continuing its investigations to establish the circumstances under which the offences were committed.
