Police are looking for 32-year old EKATERINE KHUTSISHVILI, from Georgia, who has been reported missing from her place of residence in Paphos since the afternoon of 10 June 2021.

Ekaterine is 1.75 metres tall, thin with long hair. She was last seen wearing a black sleeveless blouse, green shorts and athletic shoes.

No police officer will face criminal proceedings over the apparent failure to act that allowed a serial killer to go undetected for about three years and kill five women and two children, the state Legal Service said on Monday.

Reports of snakes being seen in places where people have never seen them before is not because Cyprus’ snake population is spiralling, officials have said.

The reason is far more mundane: the drought. Lack of winter rain has forced snakes to move about more to find water and food.

Fully vaccinated people make up less than one per cent of new coronavirus cases in Cyprus, while about five per cent concerns those who received one dose of the jab, health authorities said on Friday.

Vaccinated people who tested positive are either asymptomatic or experience mild symptoms, the head of the contact tracing team Valentinos Silvestros told the Trito radio.
