The Larnaca District Court has ordered the eight-day detention of Maria Harpa's 23-year-old brother, who fell dead yesterday afternoon from a bullet received from his military rifle.
According to the investigator of the case before the Court, it is expected that about 30 testimonies will be received from family, neighbors, from the unit where the suspect serves as a reserve and from the community leader of the village Klaudia.
According to the investigator, from preliminary examinations carried out through the Commander of the unit, in which he serves as a reserve, it appeared that the specific unit did not have a planned shot. He further stated that the last shot of his unit was on 17/5/2019.
This contradicts the claim of the suspect in his testimony, that is, that yesterday he went as a reserve and therefore cleaned his weapon.
The suspect was examined by the medical examiners with his consent and various items were received for further examinations.
In addition, a psychiatric examination of the suspect will be performed, while the gunpowder samples taken will be sent for further examination. In addition, various other allegations he has made are expected to be investigated.
In addition, as said by the investigator of the case, scenes will be suggested by the suspect.
The clothes he was wearing at the time of the crime were also seized as evidence, which will be sent for further examination.
Finally, deposits are expected from the Welfare Office to find out if the suspect or his family was being monitored by a clerk and if so, for what reason.
Investigations are ongoing.
