Hunt for missing man

POLICE have asked the public to help find a missing postman, 45-year-old Nicos Lantides from Lythrodontas, who has not been seen since November 30.

Lantides was sacked from the postal service when he was charged with forging a government cheque.

Just before he went missing, Lantides apparently told a close friend that he would end his life with his military rifle, police said.

A search of his home failed to recover the man’s rifle and ammunition.

Lantides was last seen wearing grey trousers and a yellow top. He is believed to be driving an old Honda Civic.

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
