The trial over the double murder in Limassol was adjourned on Thursday, as the defence lawyers asked for the witness material.

Limassol criminal court set the next hearing for November 14, for which the two defendants aged 19 and 23 will appear before the judges.

The case concerns the double murder which took place between July 30 and 31, where 39-year-old Andreas Kouzoupis and 38-year-old Slovakian national David Chmelar were found burned in a vehicle in Parekklisia-Kellaki.

Their lawyers said they have yet to receive the witness material which they need to study.

Both defendants are held in the central prisons and face charges including premeditated murder, conspiracy to commit a crime, arson, the use of a firearm as well as its possession and transport. They also face charges for supplying drugs.

Kouzoupis and Chmelar had been shot in the head before they were found in their burnt vehicle.
