31-year-old admits to attempted murder for 20,000 euros

16-year sentence shakes Larnaca court in Oroklini murder trial

Newsroom

In a recent verdict, the Larnaca Permanent Criminal Court has sentenced a 31-year-old man to 16 years in prison for an attempted murder that took place in Oroklini on December 4, 2022. This significant decision comes after a meticulous investigation into the incident.

The quick resolution of this case is notable, as the police managed to apprehend the 31-year-old suspect merely three hours after the attempted murder. Their breakthrough came when genetic material was discovered on a visor found at the crime scene, directly linking it to the accused.

In a surprising turn of events, just hours following his arrest, the suspect made a startling confession. He admitted to opening fire with the intent of targeting a 42-year-old individual, claiming he had been promised a reward of 20,000 euros for this act.

Shockingly, he professed ignorance regarding the presence of a six-year-old child in the car at the time of the incident, making this case all the more tragic.

As this investigation unfolds, authorities are actively searching for a 35-year-old individual named Andreas Christou. The accused has implicated Christou in this complex case, adding further intrigue to an already compelling narrative.

The legal proceedings and manhunt for Christou will undoubtedly be closely watched as more details emerge, and justice continues to be pursued.
