Paphos court remands woman in custody in murder conspiracy investigation

Paphos, Cyprus. A 27-year-old woman was remanded in custody for four days on Monday by the Paphos district court in connection with a murder conspiracy investigation. A 30-year-old man arrested in the same case is already in five-day detention.

Detentions and timeline

The case was reported on May 16, leading to arrest warrants for both suspects. The man was arrested early Sunday, while the woman was detained later the same day by Paphos police.

Allegations and investigation

Investigators said the alleged victim is the woman’s ex-partner, who accessed messages between the suspects. Police are examining claims that the messages discussed a plan to “remove him,” and noted ongoing tensions after the couple’s separation.

Access to messages

Authorities said the complainant retained access to shared apps on a mobile phone, allowing him to view the suspects’ messages.

Suspect’s statement

The 30-year-old reportedly admitted to messaging the woman but said he did not intend to harm her ex.
