Tala-based British man, 68, missing for last two weeks-PHOTO

Post by Paphos Life »

Paphos police are continuing searching for John Gareth Hugo, 68 years old, from England, who has been absent for the last two weeks from his home in Tala.

This is what an announcement said on Sunday, adding that the 68-year-old is 1.55m tall, approximately, with a slim build and grey hair. He lived alone in Tala for many years now.

The local woman who was taking care of him from time to time realized that he was missing for the last two weeks and reported it to police.

Investigations, so far, indicate that the British man has not left Cyprus. However, it will be examined whether he has travelled, via a crossing, from the free areas to the breakaway Turkish-held north.

In addition, police said that no relative of his was located for the police to contact as the disappearance of Hugo is described as suspicious.

Anyone who knows anything that may help to locate him, please contact the CID Paphos, on the phone 26-806021 or the nearest Police Station, or the Citizen’s Line on the phone number 1460.

update on original post.

British man’s remains identified in Akamas

The bones discovered on November 15th in the Akamas region of Cyprus have been identified as those of a British national, a permanent resident of Cyprus.

Assistant Police Director of Operations, Michalis Nikolaou, stated that the remains belong to 69-year-old John Hugo from the United Kingdom, who had been living in Cyprus and was reported missing on March 24th, 2023.

On Monday, a forensic autopsy was conducted by coroner Nikolas Charalambous and an anthropologist from the Committee on Missing Persons in Cyprus (CMP). According to Nikolaou, no evidence was found to suggest any criminal activity.

The bones, along with clothing, were initially discovered by a member of the Paphos Police who was hunting in a remote area of Akamas with friends. The police were subsequently notified of the find.

The case brings some closure to the mysterious disappearance of Hugo earlier this year, even as it leaves many questions unanswered about the circumstances leading to his death.

Very sad, poor man.
