A MAN was killed last night in Limassol after being stabbed in the neck in what police believe to be a case of domestic violence.

According to Limassol CID head Ioannis Sotiriades, police were called to a house in Kapsalou in the Limassol district where they found a 34-year-old Romanian man lying dead in a pool of blood.

His 39-year-old Greek Cypriot wife was found at the scene in a state of shock.

Based on preliminary investigations, Sotiriades said it appeared the couple got into a quarrel after the wife asked her husband to stop drinking alcohol. The dispute turned violent and the 34-year-old ended up with a fatal stab wound to the throat.

A police spokesman told the Cyprus Mail last night that the 39-year-old woman alleged she was hit by her husband before attacking him with the knife.

State pathologist Eleni Antoniou arrived at the house to examine the scene of the death.

The 39-year-old was arrested and taken to Limassol hospital to be examined by psychiatrists. She is due in Limassol district court today for a remand hearing.
