Murder is ultimately responsible for the death of a foreigner who was found dead on January 7 in a parking lot on the Acropolis.
Philenews reports that initially no criminal activity was investigated, since he did not have any external injuries.
However, an autopsy performed on his body today showed that his death was ultimately due to a criminal act.
The ICF Nicosia is now investigating a premeditated murder and steps are already being taken to establish how the foreigner from Pakistan was murdered.
