According to Lenta Cyprus, two unknown assailants attacked Dimostenus's car, stopping him on the road with a white vehicle. At the time of the attack, he was driving with his son named Stavros.

Two unidentified criminals obstructed Dimostenus on the road with a white van. More than ten bullet holes were visible on the roof and windshield of his Rolls-Royce. Shell casings from a 7.62 mm caliber automatic weapon were also found at the crime scene.

The police discovered a burned van under one of the bridges, which was likely used by the criminals during the attack. Forensics showed that this vehicle was stolen in Nicosia on September 4.

Tragic consequences of the attack

After the attack, Dimostenus's son tried to take his injured father to the hospital, but their vehicle was involved in an accident, resulting in the businessman dying before emergency services arrived.
