A 36-year-old Greek Cypriot and a 37-year-old from Bulgaria, imprisoned for a murder attempt against a Larnaca citizen, who tried to chase them when he saw that they had stolen a catalytic converter from a car, will face trial before the Larnaca Assize Court.
Police had been looking for the two suspects for days, releasing their photos to the public. Last Saturday the 36-year-old surrendered and a few days later the 37-year-old was arrested.
According to police sources, the two are refusing to cooperate.
The murder attempt occurred on October 29 at night. According to a police announcement, the two suspects were spotted by patrons of a nearby restaurant trying to remove and steal a catalytic converter from a parked car.
After seeing them, some of the bystanders started chasing them. In an attempt to flee, the suspects got into a car and reversed at high speed, hitting a 34-year-old man.
The two disappeared while the 34-year-old was seriously injured and was taken to the Larnaca General Hospital.
The suspects are known to the authorities and have several criminal cases pending against them.
