murder suspect — murder suspect — A 48-year-old man accused of murdering his 80-year-old father, Giorgos Hadjigeorgiou, in Limassol has been remanded to Central Prisons. The suspect will remain behind bars until his trial commences at the Criminal Court on October 21, 2025.
The tragic incident occurred in early July when the son allegedly fatally stabbed his father in their shared apartment. According to the Police, the suspect confessed to the crime shortly after it took place.
Following the incident, the accused was admitted to Athalassa Hospital for observation. Last Wednesday, he was re-arrested and presented before the Limassol District Court. During this appearance, he was held for two days as a suspect of premeditated murder.
Upon conclusion of his initial detention, the man was again brought before the District Court, where a direct trial was arranged for him at the Criminal Court, set to begin on the aforementioned date.
Adding complexity to the situation, the victim’s wife and the suspect’s mother also resided in the same apartment building, raising further questions about the family dynamics involved in this distressing case.
