Investigations into the stabbing of a 31-year-old man in Larnaca are ongoing, with police searching the apartment rented by the victim via Airbnb. The apartment contained narcotics, syringes, precision scales, money, and other items, which were seized by the Drug Squad (YKAN). The victim initially stated he was attacked by an unknown assailant who fled in a vehicle, but the crime scene has not been located, and no blood traces were found either at the indicated spot or within the apartment. Detectives are investigating the perpetrator's motives and the possibility of a prior meeting with another individual. The 31-year-old has undergone surgery and remains hospitalized in stable condition. The scene remains cordoned off, and investigations will continue.
