Update on judicial proceedings for two separate murder cases in Limassol

The Limassol Criminal Court is handling two significant murder cases. In the case of Yiannis Argyrou, who was stabbed 19 times on May 4, 2025, a 52-year-old defendant denies the premeditated murder charge. Following the testimony of a 47-year-old female witness, the defense opted not to call any witnesses, and the accused chose to remain silent. The court found a prima facie case against him, and closing arguments are scheduled for mid-December.

Separately, the same court is set to deliver its verdict today regarding the October 30, 2023, murder of 55-year-old Thanasis Kalogeropoulos. Four men, aged 23 to 46, face 11 charges, including conspiracy to commit murder and premeditated murder, related to an armed attack at a Limassol parking lot. This verdict was previously postponed on September 9 due to the large volume of evidence. Authorities have implemented strict security measures at the court for the announcement.
