Attempted Murder in Larnaca: 22-Year-Old Accused Appears in Court Under Tight Security

A 22-year-old accused of attempted murder against a 47-year-old businessman in Larnaca appeared before the Larnaca Permanent Criminal Court under tight security measures. The defense attorney requested an extension to review additional evidence provided to them. The accused faces nine charges, including conspiracy to commit murder and illegal possession of firearms. Police arrested him following information that he had confessed to a third party about committing the attempted murder. A search of his home revealed a pistol, ammunition, masks, and mobile phones, while videos on his phone appear to show him stalking the businessman before and after the attack.
