Limassol: 79-Year-Old Arrested for Attacking Tenant

A 79-year-old man has been detained for six days, suspected of attacking his 57-year-old tenant with a knife in Limassol. According to the complaint, the 79-year-old attacked the tenant inside his residence, injuring him in the face.

According to the victim's wife, the perpetrator broke into the house, grabbed the 57-year-old by the neck, threw him to the ground, injured him with a knife, and shouted: "I will kill you and then I will leave."

The victim's wife called the police, while the perpetrator fled on a motorcycle driven by an accomplice. The 57-year-old's wife testified that the house belongs to the 79-year-old, who has been renting it to the couple for the past two years. She also stated that in July, the 79-year-old asked the couple to leave the house.

According to what was heard in court, in early August, the suspect cut off the water and electricity supply. In addition, last Friday, two unknown individuals threatened the 57-year-old, demanding that they leave the house by the end of the month. The 79-year-old denies any involvement in the case.

The Court ordered his detention for six days. Offenses of conspiracy to commit a felony, injury, causing grievous bodily harm, possession of a knife, threats, and illegal entry are being investigated.
