Woman killed near Gerolakkos in second femicide case within five days in occupied north
A 35-year-old woman was killed near Gerolakkos on Saturday afternoon, marking the second femicide reported in the occupied north within five days. Her 41-year-old husband has been remanded for three days after admitting to the killing. According to reports, the incident occurred during a verbal argument as the couple was driving near the Gerolakkos industrial area, where the husband allegedly struck his wife with an electric cutting tool.
The suspect appeared before the Nicosia district court on Sunday, which approved his detention to allow further investigations and completion of the post-mortem examination. The case has sparked significant social media reactions, highlighting concerns over violence against women and calls for stronger preventive measures.
This tragic event follows the killing of a 61-year-old woman in the occupied Karpasia area just five days earlier, a case that also involved prior documented domestic violence. Local authorities and activists continue to urge for more effective policies and protections to reduce gender-based violence in the region.
