A 46-year-old Limassol resident was remanded for three days on Saturday on suspicion of setting fire to an establishment in Paphos earlier this week.

The fire, which damaged the doors of the establishment, broke out in the early morning hours on Monday and was put out by the fire service, police said.

Further examinations showed the fire was set maliciously using flammable material.

The suspect was arrested on Friday following evidence that emerged against him linking him to the arson.
