According to the police’s statement issued on Sunday, a neighbour alerted authorities at about 5pm after noticing a foul odour emanating from the house.

Upon entering the property, officers found the body in a severe state of decomposition.

The woman has been identified as a Latvian national who held a Cypriot identity card.

Police are treating the case as an unnatural death, though the cause has not yet been established.
