Two brothers remanded for attempted murder

Limassol district court remanded two brothers, aged 30 and 23, in custody for six days in connection with the attempted murder of a 36-year-old man last year on December 20.

The suspects were arrested on January 3 by British Dhekelia base police after a boat chase off the coast of Ormidia.

Assistance from the British bases and Cypriot maritime police led to the interception of the vessel.

The brothers were subsequently handed over to Limassol police and interrogated before being brought to court.
