Larnaca, Cyprus. Two people suspected of attempted arson in the Kornos forest earlier this month are scheduled to appear before the Larnaca criminal court in October, following a ruling by the Larnaca district court on Wednesday.


Fire and investigation

The 28-year-old woman and the 26-year-old were arrested during a police operation launched after a fire broke out in the Kornos forest on the evening of August 2.

Residents driving near the forest noticed the fire and saw two people leaving the scene. They extinguished the fire before it could spread further.

Police secured testimony during the investigation and subsequently issued arrest warrants for the two suspects.
