The murder of the well-known lawyer Stavros Georgiou was solved with lightning speed.

The investigation progressed rapidly, with forensic teams collecting critical evidence from the crime scene. Fingerprints found at key locations within the victim's residence were matched to the 28-year-old suspect, who was already known to authorities for previous offenses. Dimoglidou noted that the suspect lacked a permanent residence, which had complicated efforts to locate him.

According to Dimoglidou, an arrest warrant had been issued for the suspect approximately one month prior to the murder. However, his transient lifestyle prevented his apprehension at that time. She explained that after his asylum request was rejected, the suspect was granted a specific period for voluntary departure. His subsequent location depended on targeted searches and police checks.
