Police in Nicosia have launched an investigation after a 44-year-old woman was found dead in a flat and another woman was left critically injured nearby. Officers were called at around 11.30pm on Saturday to a report of a woman found at the intersection of Grivas Digenis and Larnaca Avenues. When police arrived, they found the first woman had suffered injuries described as to her neck and back. She was taken to Nicosia General Hospital, where she underwent surgery and remains in a critical condition. Further examinations in the area led police to bloodstains outside a nearby block of flats. The pattern of the stains guided officers to one of the flats. Inside, they found another woman unconscious with injuries described as to her neck and head. She was pronounced dead at the scene. Police believe the case may involve premeditated murder. Their investigation is ongoing. Source: Cyprus Mail
