A 26-year-old man remains in critical condition in a private hospital in Limassol after an attempted murder in Konia, Paphos district, on Wednesday afternoon.
The 26-year-old is fighting for his life and is being treated in a medically induced coma in the Intensive Care Unit. Doctors told that the next 24 hours could prove decisive for improving his condition, given that no further deterioration was observed during the first 48 hours.
The police investigation into the attempted murder is in full swing, with investigators focusing on the telecommunications data of the 26-year-old victim and the 58-year-old suspect, who is being held under an eight-day remand order. Police are also examining video footage received from closed-circuit systems in the area.
In parallel, the investigation continues with officers taking dozens of statements from neighbours, passing motorists, and people in the inner circle of the two individuals involved in the incident.
