The 57-year-old man who was arrested for the shooting against a house in Mutayaka, which was fired shortly after midnight, has been in a cell for 4 days.
The 57-year-old was brought before the Limassol District Court for a detention order. The offences under investigation are firing shots at a house, illegal possession and transportation of a firearm and illegal possession and transportation of explosives.
As reported in a previous Cyprus Times report, ten minutes after midnight, a tip-off was received about shots being fired at the front of the house of a couple aged 61 and 56 respectively, in the village of Mutayaka, Limassol district. Members of the Police rushed to the area for investigations, where it was found that a suspicious person, driving a large capacity motorcycle, stopped outside the couple's house and after firing a number of shots towards the residence, left the scene.
According to reports, the occupants were inside the home at the time of the shooting.
Examinations at the scene so far have determined that at least three bullets struck a window and ended up inside the home, while one bullet struck an exterior wall of the home. The scene was placed under guard for further investigations on Saturday morning.
Suspicions were raised against the 57-year-old suspect, with police members proceeding to arrest him shortly after 5am./p]
