In the chaos that followed, Demosthenous’s son attempted to rush his father to hospital. However, they crashed on the motorway during their desperate drive. Seeking help, the son flagged down a passing vehicle, which took them to the nearest medical facility, but unfortunately, Demosthenous succumbed to his injuries shortly after arrival.
Authorities have since discovered a burnt van in Germasogeia, believed to have been used by the assailants for their escape. The police are treating this case as a contract murder, with indications that it may be linked to gang-related activities, according to sources close to the investigation.
Demosthenous was not only a prominent figure in Cypriot football but also held significant positions within the sport. He previously served as president of Aris Limassol before his tenure at Karmiotissa FC, which experienced relegation from the top tier of Cypriot football last season.
With all divisions of the Limassol police involved, a coordinated operation is underway to apprehend the suspects responsible for this shocking crime. The murder has raised concerns about safety in the area and the potential for escalating violence in the region.
