Man arrested in north over Larnaca stabbing

A 30-year-old man has been arrested in the north in connection with a stabbing in Larnaca last week, Larnaca police head Giorgos Charalambous said on Monday.

He said the man had been arrested following “action” taken on the part of the bicommunal technical committee on crime, and that he has since been handed over to the Republic of Cyprus’ police.

Now, he said, the man finds himself in custody and is expected to appear in court, with the police treating the case as an attempted murder.
