The work of the investigators in relation to clarifying the circumstances of the death of 62-year-old Vitaly Shostak, who was found dead in his apartment in Limassol on Friday night, with a stab wound, is considered particularly difficult.
The Police are investigating a case of premeditated murder with the victim's 63-year-old wife as a suspect, who is in eight-day detention. It is also investigating the woman's claims that her husband self-harmed.
As the head of the TAE Limassol Lefteris Kyriakou stated in his statements, the investigators are awaiting the report of the medical examiner Nikolas Charalambous, who performed an autopsy on the scene and an autopsy on the victim. They are also awaiting the results of scientific tests on the evidence that has been identified. "We hope that combined with the statements that have been taken, the evidence that we have collected and are collecting, as the investigations are ongoing, we will be able to clear up the case and see what the suspect's involvement was in the case," said Mr. Kyriakou.
The testimony of the victim's son is also considered an important element, which is evaluated by the investigators. The results of the samples taken from both the suspect and the victim, whether they were intoxicated, are also considered important.
Upon completion of the investigations, the case file will be sent to the Legal Service, which will decide on the further handling of the case.
