A family drama has been shaking the Forest of Achna for the last 12 hours. An unemployed head of the family with huge financial problems and debts, he broke into a house threatening to kill his wife and minor child.
The man was intoxicated and threatened to kill himself after killing his family.
Specifically, the case started at dawn, when men from the Dekeleia Police Station tried to stop the 38-year-old's vehicle for an alcohol test. The wife and their 5-year-old daughter were also in the vehicle. After the inspection, the 38-year-old and his family went to Dasaki of Achna, where the house of his friends is located, which was given to them to stay.
Shortly afterwards, his wife called the police, claiming that her husband had broken things at home and threatened to harm them.
Police in riot gear stormed a rally on Friday, removing hundreds of protesters by truck. However, as soon as the head of the family had them, in a state of intoxication, he proposed a pistol and threatened to kill his wife and child and then commit suicide. At that time, the case took hostage proportions, and reinforced police forces arrived on the scene. The matter ended around 11 a.m. when the head of the family was persuaded to surrender.
His wife and child are in good health, despite suffering from the father's psychological violence.
The man was taken to the Dhekelia Police Department while the scene remains blocked by the Base Police.
It should be noted that a great disturbance was caused in the district of Doganos in Dasaki of Achna, while several residents gathered at the spot.
Relatives stress the need to help the family, who until recently lived in a rented house, which was forced to leave. They also said that the debt of the 38-year-old is huge, while in the house where they live they have no heating at all and his mother-in-law takes care of their feeding.
The pistol with which he threatened to kill a woman and a child is being examined by the Police.
