 Filenews 3 September 2020 - by Dora Christodoulou

A 36-year-old woman from the Philippines was working in the morning in the kitchen of a leisure centre located on the ground floor of a building complex on Othello Street in Kato Paphos, when at one point a man in a furious state stormed the premises and began hitting the unfortunate woman with a knife. It was then revealed that her 27-year-old partner, from Bangladesh, had been able to disarm and immobilize other workers and bystanders at the scene after the first shock.

The stabbing, now being investigated by police as attempted murder, alarmed the police who were informed of the incident. Members rushed to the scene, where they located the 36-year-old in a pool of blood, seriously injured, while with minor injuries to his hands the perpetrator of the stabbing was also found at the scene. It is estimated that his own injuries were caused by the eyewitnesses' attempt to immobilize him and extract his knife, saving the unfortunate woman's life.

Both were taken to Paphos Hospital by ambulances who rushed to the scene, with doctors talking about the woman's very serious condition and the man's frivolous injuries. The 36-year-old from the Philippines was detained for hospitalization in the ICU of paphos hospital.

Investigations into the causes and circumstances of the case are continuing, with the Police investigating in the first instance the possibility of personal disputes between the two foreigners.
