Defendants to Remain in Custody for Dimosthenous Murder Case
November 17, 2025
The four defendants in the murder case of Stavros Dimosthenous will remain in custody until the trial begins at the Limassol Permanent Criminal Court. The judge noted the existence of a flight risk, especially for the 51-year-old accused, as no strong ties to Cyprus were found. This risk also applies to the other defendants, who include two 30-year-olds and a 31-year-old Georgian. The trial is scheduled to start on January 29, 2026, after the case was referred from the District Court. The defendants also face the risk of influencing witnesses.
