A 24-year-old man has been arrested as part of the police’s investigations into an attempted murder which occurred in the Larnaca district village of Kornos, the police said on Sunday.
The man was arrested on Saturday night, after a warrant had been put out for his arrest on January 15.
He appeared in court on Sunday and was remanded in custody for eight days.
Multiple shots were fired in an outdoor area in the village on January 9, with a 30-year-old having been hospitalised after the incident, and having briefly been in a critical condition.
The police currently believe that at around 2pm on January 9, the 30-year-old visited an area in the village with the aim of meeting people over the sale of a car.
There, he was approached by a vehicle, with four men, two of whom were allegedly armed with pistols, getting out.
The 30-year-old attempted to escape, but was shot several times, suffering injuries to his hand and shoulder blade.
The police’s investigation into the matter is ongoing.
