AN EIGHT-YEAR-OLD boy vanished from his house in Ayios Dhometios yesterday causing the Police, the United Nations and the Turkish-Cypriot ‘authorities’ to launch an extensive search, thankfully he was found three hours later playing in a nearby park.

A widespread search was launched by authorities yesterday after the boy was reported missing at 3pm. As the day started turning into night the authorities feared the worst and the search was extended into the dead zone under the supervision of the UN. The child however was found unharmed in a nearby park by some other children who became aware of the search.

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.
