Paphos Fatal Stabbing: Victim Died of Hemorrhagic Shock

A 41-year-old man has died from injuries sustained in a stabbing in Paphos, with a 29-year-old relative as the perpetrator. The autopsy revealed that the death was caused by hemorrhagic shock due to a stabbing and cutting instrument. Police have made three new arrests, of individuals aged 34, 31, and 25, who were in the vehicle with the victim and the perpetrator. The arrested individuals are suspected of conspiracy, carrying an offensive weapon, and causing damage. The 29-year-old, who is in custody, reportedly confessed to stabbing his uncle, but claims he did not intend to kill him. Police are investigating the case as premeditated murder, as well as aggravated assault and wielding a knife. The court issued an eight-day detention order for the suspect. The events unfolded in Pega, following a meeting arranged to resolve personal disputes that originated from posts on social media.
