Stavros Demosthenous Murder: Escape Attempt and Court Decision for Ex-Footballer

The 44-year-old former footballer and the 51-year-old expatriate were brought before the Limassol District Court once again, in connection with the premeditated murder case of Stavros Demosthenous. The Police requested a renewal of their detention.

The 44-year-old expressed his intention to escape from custody, resulting in him remaining handcuffed inside the courtroom. The lawyers of the two filed an objection to the detention. The Court reserved its decision to be announced tomorrow, Wednesday (5/11).

According to the Police, the 44-year-old is the registered owner of the motorcycle linked to the case. Two 28-year-old Georgian expatriates were arrested in Thessaloniki and their extradition to Cyprus is pending, as they are considered the transporters of the perpetrator. The 51-year-old Greek national is linked to a stolen vehicle found near the victim's home.

The Police continue their investigations to locate the perpetrator.
