Double attack in Nicosia: 44-year-old Vietnamese woman dead, injured woman in surgery
The Crime Investigation Department (CID) of Nicosia is investigating a case of premeditated murder and attempted murder involving two women of Asian origin, according to official information reported by Dialogos.
Around 11:30 at night, police received information about an injured woman at the intersection of Digenis Akritas and Larnaca avenues. Police officers who rushed to the scene located a woman of Asian origin with injuries to her neck and back. She was transferred by ambulance to Nicosia General Hospital, where she underwent surgery and is being treated in critical condition.
During examinations in the area, authorities found bloodstains outside a nearby apartment building that led to a specific flat. Inside it, a second woman was found unconscious on the floor, with injuries to her neck and head.
The forensic medical examiners Angeliki Papetta and Orthodox Orthodoxou attended the scene for examination, who confirmed her death. The deceased was 44 years old and following examinations was found to be from Vietnam.
Both locations remain under police guard, whilst the Nicosia CID continues investigations to establish the circumstances under which the offences were committed.
