Remand for 14-year-old crime

A 48-year-old man was remanded on Friday for five days in connection with a robbery that took place 14 years ago in Limassol.

The robbery took place in September 2004 on Makarios avenue in Limassol, when a 54-year-old man was attacked by a number of persons who hit him in various parts of his body and fled in his car.

In the car was CY£980 (€1,600) and a mobile phone worth CY£150 (€256).

Police arrested the suspect based on scientific evidence.

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.
