Three more arrested in Oborok murder case

 

Three more suspects were last night arrested in connection with the murder of Julia Oborok, 24, and her three year old daughter Victoria, who were found brutally murdered in Yeroskipou on Tuesday.

Police arrested the three on suspicion of conspiracy to commit a crime, collaboration after a crime, destruction of evidence and obstructing the course of justice.

The suspects are the 56 year old mother and 54 year old aunt of Oborok’s former boyfriend, who is currently in custody, and a 16 year old who was employed at his salon.

According to a police statement, it seems the 16 year old was asked by the mother to enter the salon and retrieve a bag, containing a jacket belonging to the suspect and take it to his mother. Police have not recovered the jacket.

Funerals for the two victims are taking place at St. Anargiri in Paphos. Oborok’s ex-husband is said to have flown from Crete to Cyprus to attend the services.
