Decree eight-day detention The Limassol District Court yesterday issued a verdict against the 38-year-old suspect for the attempted murder that was committed in the early hours of Saturday, in a taxi office on Makarios Avenue and the serious injury of a 47-year-old soldier.
The 38-year-old was arrested for the offenses of attempted murder, malicious damage and threat. Interrogated, he admitted that he went to the area with his vehicle to drink coffee since, as he said, the owners of the taxi office are his relatives. He claimed that when he entered the parking lot of the office with the vehicle, he lost control of the car, as a result of which he crashed into the shop window of the premises and caused damage. He also said that did not realize that he injured the 47-year-old, while the reason he left was because his vehicle documents were not valid.
It should be noted that the 38-year-old hid the vehicle in a field in the area where he lives after the incident, while after his arrest, he pointed it out to the members of the Police.
The cause of the attempt, as "F" is informed, seems to be the quarrel that the suspect's brother had with relatives of the taxi office owner. According to the testimony obtained by the investigators, the brother of the 38-year-old suspect was in a cafe in the village of Dora where he was having fun with his friends. The owner of the taxi office was in the same place with his relatives, but at some point the first one left. After a while, the suspect's brother and his friends allegedly got into a fight with the taxi owner's brother's children, and the reason was who would pay the bill. Although the episode ended there, the 38-year-old suspect was informed about what happened and got upset.
The investigators of TAE Limassol, as "F" is informed, secured testimony that a few minutes after the incident, an unknown man called the taxi office and persistently asked the employee to talk to the owner, threatening him that he would suffer the same. In fact, the suspect allegedly talked to the owner on the phone, told him that he had caused damage and told him that he was willing to compensate him.
The incident occurred around 3.00 in the morning when the 47-year-old visited the taxi office to meet a relative. While walking at the entrance, he heard a car behind him marching and stopping one meter away from him. The driver of the vehicle then developed speed and hit him. In an attempt to protect himself, he entered the office but the driver continued on his way and entered the vehicle with his vehicle, causing material damage. He then left the scene in his car.
The 47-year-old was taken to Limassol Hospital, as he suffered a tibia fracture and underwent surgery.
