A call for an ambulance on a Peyia street led police to two scenes Monday evening. A 51-year-old British man was found with stab wounds in a car on Vatoudion Street, and investigators later sealed off a nearby home. Police have arrested two people in connection with his death.
The suspects are the man’s 42-year-old partner and her 20-year-old son, according to reports by Kathimerini and Cyprus’ public broadcaster, RIK. RIK reported that the son allegedly admitted to the stabbing in a voluntary statement to investigators.
A woman called the ambulance service at about 6:15 p.m. Monday, reporting that a man was injured in the front passenger seat. Paramedics took him to Paphos General Hospital, where he died at about 7:45 p.m.
Investigators are also looking into the car’s ownership. Kathimerini reported that it was still registered to a resident of Polis Chrysochous but had reportedly been sold recently, with the transfer paperwork still pending.
Police are awaiting forensic results as they work to establish where the stabbing took place and what led to it.
