The Paphos District Court has ordered that the 58-year-old suspect in the murder of 26-year-old Alexandros Antoniou remain in custody until his trial in 2026. There is substantial evidence, including security camera footage of the attack and threatening messages sent by the victim to the suspect's daughter. The police have also gathered testimonies indicating that there was an argument between the suspect and the victim. The young man's death was caused by a stabbing in the carotid artery. The court emphasized the seriousness of the charges and the likelihood that the suspect could abscond if released.
