Morgue ⚰️

Morgue mix-up ends search for missing Briton's body

The meteorological department has updated its orange warning as severe storms, rain, and hail are expected to arrive earlier than forecast on Wednesday afternoon. Residents have been told to prepare for fourteen hours of intense weather phenomena.

A British man's body that was reported missing from a Nicosia morgue has been located following an administrative error. The body had been transferred from Paphos a month after the man's death; its disappearance for two days had stalled repatriation efforts and triggered a police investigation.

The Audit Service has found that the public bus network's information is as unreliable as the service itself, noting that the company's website and applications regularly provide inaccurate data to passengers. In a separate incident in the capital, a man set fire to his girlfriend's car after seeing her with another person.
