€1.18 Billion Approved for Cyprus

Police in Larnaca are investigating a case of attempted murder and causing grievous bodily harm, following a stabbing incident in Kiti. The victim, a 35-year-old man from Sri Lanka, was seriously injured by the 38-year-old perpetrator, also from Sri Lanka, with five knife wounds. The motive appears to be romantic jealousy, as both men were vying for the attention of a 41-year-old woman. The perpetrator had been following the woman and attacked the 35-year-old when he saw them leaving a house together. The perpetrator was arrested and confessed to the act, while the knife used was found at the scene. The 38-year-old came to Cyprus in 2023 and had been residing illegally on the island. The 35-year-old's condition is described as serious but out of danger.
