    Christos Christaki passed away at approximately 6:10pm today at the American Medical Center in Nicosia, as confirmed by police. Arrangements are currently being made for a post-mortem examination.

    The unfortunate event took place around 11:30pm on Monday in the main car park behind Mackenzie’s entertainment venues. A group of friends, primarily National Guard soldiers on leave, had just exited a local restaurant and were preparing to get into their vehicles to head home.

    Initial witness statements described the tragic occurrence as a traffic accident. According to these early accounts, a 19-year-old driver, along with a passenger of the same age, accidentally struck Christaki while attempting to approach him so he could board the vehicle. Witnesses reported that the young soldier fell to the ground, suffering a serious head injury.

    However, developments in the investigation led to significant changes in the case’s circumstances. A voluntary statement from the 19-year-old driver prompted Larnaca CID to take over the investigation on Tuesday afternoon, resulting in the arrest of the suspect.

    The driver was detained and later released, but investigations are ongoing under the direction of Larnaca CID. The community is left in mourning, grappling with the loss of a young life under such tragic circumstances.
