A 55-year-old man accused of attempting to murder a 41-year-old in Amargeti, Paphos, will remain in custody until his trial before the criminal court, scheduled to convene on September 24.
According to Paphos assistant police director, Michalis Nikolaou, the suspect, a resident of Amargeti, is reported to own property near that of the victim. The two are believed to have had ongoing disputes regarding the boundaries of their adjacent land plots.
