An autopsy was completed on Sunday night, on the body of 39-year-old Christos Charilaou, shot dead in Limassol on Saturday night, while police are continuing intensive investigations.
Findings revealed that the 38-year-old victim was hit by three bullets, one of which penetrated his right lung.
According to police, the case poses challenges as no bullet casings have been found to date and CCTV footage did not capture the incident.
The victim was shot around 11.45 at night outside his home in Parekklisia by unknown perpetrators after returning from a food shopping trip while his wife and two young children were inside.
The autopsy performed by state pathologists Angeliki Papetta and Orthodoxos Orthodoxou at the Limassol general hospital, showed that Charilaou had died from internal bleeding as a result of a ruptured lung.
Samples have been taken from the victims body for further testing.
Charilaou, who is known to authorities, had previously worked as a security guard but was currently involved in real estate. He was recently handed a suspended sentence for a drugs charge.
Several people from his circle have been called to Limassol CID to answer questions in efforts to obtain testimony leading to the perpetrators.
