Dead body found on Larnaca beach

THE partly decomposed body of a man wrapped in plastic rubbish bags was found on a beach in Ayios Theodoros in Larnaca on Thursday afternoon.

According to police, the body was found by a beach goer at around 5.25pm in the Kafkalia area of Ayios Theodoros.

The body, which was wrapped in plastic rubbish bags, appeared to be that of a foreign national, police said.

A state pathologist examined the body on the scene, while a post-mortem was expected to be carried out later on Thursday night or Friday morning.

State broadcaster CyBC reported that the man’s hands and feet were tied, but police would not confirm.

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.
