A real witch would have seen it coming

Sir,
Your recent article concerning the arrest of an unfortunate lady caught using a crystal ball provoked hysterics here.

Surely if she was a genuine witch and the ball was working correctly, she would have been forewarned of her imminent arrest by Nicosia’s finest!

Perhaps the offending item should be transferred to the custody of the Paphos squad to assist in investigations into the recent burglary at their station?

CJM,

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.
