Body of old woman found

THE partly decomposed body of a 75-year-old Turkish Cypriot woman has been found in her house in Limassol.

Police said yesterday that they broke into Nourte Ahmet’s house on Friday after being informed by some of her neighbours that a rotten smell was coming from it.

Ahmet’s body was found lying on her bed, and police believe she died at the beginning of last week. They have ruled out the possibility of foul play.

Ahmet lived on her own in Limassol and had never crossed to the occupied areas.

 

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.
