Paphos police investigating a bomb attack at the home of a state prosecutor have questioned a number of people, without however anything incriminating turning up, it emerged on Tuesday.
Investigations continued into Monday’s blast, which caused extensive damage both to the main entrance of state prosecutor Xenia Xenophontos’ house in Ayios Nicholaos Street, as well as a neighbour’s windows.
Inquiries are so far concentrating on the prosecutor’s professional activity and duties.
Members of the force went to the scene shortly after the 12.35am blast, carrying out examinations and collecting evidence.
Paphos CID said preliminary investigations pointed to the explosive device having been placed on the veranda of the Emba residence.
The Legal Service condemned what it described as a cowardly attack against its member.
“The Attorney-general and state Legal Service officials send the message that such unacceptable actions have no place in a country governed by the rule of law.”
The Legal Service “expresses support and solidarity with the colleague and stands on her side during this difficult hour.”
They also expressed the determination of all officers to continue their duty undistracted, without fear, and with the sense of the high duty they are performing which, despite some setbacks, they will continue to effectively execute.
