A day after a 38-year-old British woman was found dead at her home in Paphos, a second woman died suddenly while also at home. This is a 45-year-old Russian resident of Cyprus, who was found dead yesterday afternoon in her bed by her compatriot husband who had just returned to their residence, in the village of Tremithousa, from his work.
The husband informed the police, whose team rushed to the scene and carried out examinations. The body of the unfortunate woman was transferred to Paphos Hospital pending the arrangements for the legal autopsy.
The cause of death is being investigated by the Police, while the first examinations did not find any traces of external injuries to the unfortunate 45-year-old.
Meanwhile, the autopsy on the body of the 38-year-old woman who was found dead the previous day at her home in Paphos was completed late in the afternoon at the morgue of Nicosia General Hospital. The autopsy did not clarify the cause of death and this is expected to be done after histopathological and toxicological laboratory tests that will be done in the coming days.
According to the spokesman of the Pafos Police Department, Michalis Nicolaou, at this stage there are no injuries that justify her death.

For the case, ICF investigators secured testimonies against three persons and proceeded to arrest a 23-year-old foreigner, while until late last night a 19-year-old and a 22-year-old were wanted. The stabbings injured three of the four foreigners, two of whom were detained for treatment in hospital with traumatic injuries to the head, torso and chest.
According to "F", the 23-year-old interrogator said that he was at the scene of the fight, but denies involvement in the stabbings. The suspect is expected to appear in court today for a request for detention. Various closed circuits in the area were secured for the case, which are expected to be studied, while evidence such as knives held by the perpetrators is also being sought.
According to the complainants, at around 01.30 in the morning yesterday, they were attacked by five people from Afghanistan, but they did not know, as they said, their details. They claimed they were initially misunderstood and started arguing. They were caught in the hands and then the assailants retrieved knives in their possession and attacked them.
The fight injured three foreigners aged 20, 21 and 35, while there was a tent and a fourth aged 24, who escaped the wrath of the attackers. The three foreigners were transported by ambulances to Limassol hospital where it was found that the 20-year-old had lacerations on his left arm, left thigh, head and torso and was detained for treatment. The health condition of the 35-year-old, who has traumatic injuries in the chest area, is considered more serious, while the 21-year-old, who had abrasions on his left arm, received First Aid and was dismissed.
