ACCORDING to reports in a number of Greek language newspapers, shots were apparently fired in the direction of a British TV crew filming in Cyprus for the upcoming ITV series ‘Homes from Hell’.
The incident occurred last Sunday when the crew travelled to Frenaros to film the property at the centre of the Conor O’Dwyer case. While filming at the rear of the house they heard gunfire and the sound of shotgun pellets landing in their vicinity.
At the front of the house the film crew were confronted by a number of men, some of whom were armed. They were told that they were on private property and were ordered to stop filming.
The TV crew reported the incident to the Famagusta Divisional Police Headquarters. But apparently the Police declined to visit the scene saying that the shots probably came from hunters in an area near the property where hunting is allowed.
We shall bring you more news on this story as it unfolds. The TV crew are flying back to the UK this evening and we hope to speak with them early next week.

The following comments made on the Cyprus Mail website are beginning to touch on the ' Cyprus self destruct button'.
Road Warrior comments:
You could not make it up, welcome to “Banjo Country”, they could not show their country in a worse light.
When this is aired in the UK, it will not matter about Eurocypria going bust, possibly eventually followed by Cyprus Airways, nobody will want to come here anyway, why not just close the airports and build another two golf courses……..
Property industry in meltdown, tourist industry in crisis, people stabbing each other in the street in Larnaca and “The Pres,” is pressing the flesh in New York and on a jolly to Slovakia.
Surely, at the next election the Cypriot people will deliver a reality check.

This really resembles a scene from a gipsy camp you know. Where the police or unwelcome visitors arrive and you’re greeted with a shotgun in your face.
Cyprus – where are you heading? Who really wants to live there and who wants their kids growing up amongst this village culture – Not I for sure.
Holidays from Hell – more like the island that time forgot!
It can only get worse from now on and will the British Consulate step in?
I think not..

A brilliant idea. Congratulations to the persons who fired in the direction of the film crew.
Now UK ITV will certainly be back again and hopefully BBC, Channel 4/5, SKY NEWS etc and maybe even the world media in General.

Welcome to Cyprus where anything goes in a 3rd World Country, how did it ever get into an exclusive club like the EU?
Even the village idiot knows that shooting alongside houses for a certain distances or in a built up area is forbidden.
Hope the crew got all the pictures for their TV program, it will be worthwhile watching another nail in the coffin of Cyprus.

You may be impressed but then you are a Greek Cypriot after all.
What is impressive, as well as Leichstenstein's acheivements, is the FACT that another tiny nation, The Bahamas has won Olympic gold medals and even the likes of Qatar, Luxembourg and Tonga have won medals too.
I expect Cyprus could win one before the Pitcairn Islands but then their population is in the region of 50.

The British have done enough damage to Cyprus already, doubtless they will now wallow in whatever capital they can make out of this nonsensical episode in order to support Conor's campaign (in tandem with their REAL interest in bolstering the position of the 'Carpetbaggers') so that eventually they may extricate themselves from yet another situation they have created to the detriment of the innocent.
The first part of this statement is pure nonsense and typical of GCs on this forum. The carpet-baggers (unscrupulous opportunists) are in this instance the developers, estates agents and lawyers.
Actually, the British public may not be too interested in what the T.V. crews may report............ 'Bad Timing' you see.................... poor Jack Duckworth has just died in 'Coronation Street' and, coupled with 'Remembrance Sunday' and the 'Student Riots', it may well prove to be too much for them to take in at one time, especially since the 'Dossers' are facing severe cutbacks in their handouts.
What the hell have dossers got to do with purchasers of offshore property?
The horrific story of what the situation was and still is in Cyprus regarding corrupt developers, lawyers and estate agents and perhaps even more so the police/legal system will be in, on the radio, the internet and television for months if not years in the UK and elsewhere. All Greek Cypriots will unfortunately pay the price.
Like Karayiannis said (and thank God) "You are not in England now!".
Absolutely no doubt Karayiannis is glad he isn't in England or for that matter in numerous other countries where there are decent legal systems
