Aussie police arrest 34-year-old in connection to Ioli’s death (updated)

Queensland Police have charged 34-year-old Bradley Edwards for the murder of 26-year-old Greek Cypriot Ioli Hadjilyra in Brisbane, Australia, whose lifeless body was found in a park last Wednesday.

After CCTV footage from the park where the body of Hadjilyra was found showed Edwards behaving suspiciously in several locations and carrying a bag believed to belong to the victim, Brisbane police issued an alert on Sunday for the public’s help in locating the suspect.

Edwards was found and arrested on Tuesday, reportedly after a public tip-off to police, before being charged with Hadjilyra’s murder.

The suspect is scheduled to appear before the Brisbane Magistrate court on Wednesday.

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.
