Murder trial of Stavros Dimosthenous continues in Limassol

The trial of three individuals accused of the premeditated murder of 49-year-old businessman Stavros Dimosthenous resumed at the Limassol Assize Court on Monday. The incident, which occurred on October 17, 2025, led to the current proceedings where prosecutors submitted more than 350 pieces of evidence. The three defendants, aged 31 and 28, are being held in custody at Central Prisons while facing multiple charges.

The charges against the suspects include premeditated murder, conspiracy to commit a felony, conspiracy to commit murder, and several counts related to the illegal possession, transportation, and use of firearms and explosives. The legal process is expected to continue with hearings focusing on objections raised by defense attorneys regarding the admissibility of a number of the submitted evidence items. The accused remain in detention as the court reviews the case materials to determine their culpability for the fatal attack.
