Two men, allegedly involved in the murders of Kalogeropoulos and Mavromichalis, tried to escape from the illegal airport of occupied Tymbou yesterday by private jet, but were noticed by the "police" and arrested, interrogated, taken to the prisons of the pseudo-state and there is contact with the authorities of the Republic on the matter, through the United Nations. writes the website "Haber Kibris".
According to an exclusive report by Haber Kibris, these are two people suspected of "Polish-Russian connections". During the check-in process at the illegal airport, the employee of the "immigration department" realized, as the report writes, that these were suspects and alerted the "police", who took action.
Haber Kibris adds that it has begun to investigate whether the two men are connected to the killings and says that these two individuals "crossed illegally into the 'TRNC' and quickly wanted to flee by private jet from Erdjian."
The Turkish Cypriot website recalls that within 48 hours the two murders of Thanasis Kalogeropoulos were committed in Limassol and Alexis Mavromichalis in Nicosia and refers to information about the circumstances of the murders and who the victims were.
Haber Kibris adds that the objects found on them have been received as evidence and there is communication with the Police of the Republic of Cyprus through the United Nations. As noted, if the "arrested" are linked to the murder, "they will be extradited to the south."
[NB - subsequent report - There seems to be no connection with regard to the two arrests of persons that took place in the occupied areas, in relation to the murder of Thanasis Kalogeropoulos. This is according to philenews information from the ICF of Limassol.
As we were told, the arrests are not related to the murder of Kalogeropoulos under investigation.
The same information from the ICF states that no request had been made to the bi-communal commission on crime, nor is there any information.].
