Murder committed in the presence of a third person
Investigations by the Nicosia CID are in full swing regarding the murder of a 58-year-old woman from Iran – killed with an iron bar by her former partner, who has verbally admitted to the crime. Information points to a disagreement over the residence that led to the atrocious act.
The dispute concerned whether the unfortunate 58-year-old from Iran would continue living at the home of her ex-husband in Kaimakli. This appears to have been the reason behind the appalling crime.
Police are investigating a case of premeditated murder, while society remains shocked by yet another violent crime committed against a woman by her former husband.
