An eight-day remand order was re-issued against a 58-year-old man on Sunday after the stabbing of a 26-year-old man in Konia ten days ago.

At 6.15pm on November 19, outside a kiosk on the main road in Konia, a confrontation, possibly premeditated, broke out between the two men.

Earlier that day, the victim’s girlfriend had reported to authorities that her vehicle tyres were damaged, allegedly by the 26-year-old, who is understood to be her former partner.

The 58-year-old suspect is the woman’s father.

Later, the two men argued outside the kiosk.

The 58-year-old reportedly drew a blade and stabbed the younger man multiple times before fleeing the scene.

The victim was initially rushed to the accident and emergency department of Paphos general hospital but was transferred to the intensive care unit of a private hospital in Limassol where he later died.
