3 GREEK CYPRIOT SOLDIERS QUESTIONED IN CONNECTION WITH THEFT
Greek Cypriot police are continuing their investigation into the theft of the remains of the former Greek Cypriot leader Tassos Papadopoulos from his grave on Thursday night.
According to Greek Cypriot media reports, police questioned three individuals, in connection with information that a military ambulance had been seen in the area.
The men who were released late last night are said to be soldiers serving in the Greek Cypriot National Guard.
According to available information, unknown persons removed the body from the coffin and disappeared, under the cover of darkness, on the eve of the first anniversary since his death.
Mounds of earth could be seen at the site of the grave along with white powder, reported to be lime, scattered around and on the tombstone.
It is speculated that the act was the work of a group of people, at least four but probably more than that.
Meanwhile, a memorial service for the late Greek Cypriot leader took place this afternoon as planned at the Ayios Nicolau Church.
The service was attended by the head of the Greek Cypriot Orthodox Church Archbishop Chrisostomos.
