The search for the victims of a 35 year old suspected serial killer will not stop, police spokersperson Andreas Angelides told reporters on Tuesday afternoon.
Angelides was talking at the site of the search in Mitsero where the 35 year old told police he dumped the bodies of Livia Florentina Bunea, her eight year daughter Elena Natalia and that of Maricar Valdez Arquiola in suitcases and threw them into Kokkini Limni (red lake).
Angelides said that five Scotland Yard investigators have flown to Cyprus to help authorities in their investigation.
“The investigators will have a clearly-defined consulting role,” Angelides said.
They have already met with the Chief of police and the Cypriot lead investigators of the case and have been briefed on the suspect’s profile.
Meanwhile, authorities and a private company providing divers and equipment for the search have placed 3 buoys in Mitsero’s red lake.
Fire service chief Markos Trangolas said that authorities have ordered a sonar system, which is expected to arrive on Friday to be used for the search in lake at Xyliatos and Mitsero.
The 35 year old told police that he dumped the body of six year old Sierra -— daughter of Marry Rose Tiburcio whose body was found in an abandoned mine shaft on April 14 — in Xyliato.
Administrative inquiry into police handling of disappearances
Police have come under fire over the way they handled the disappearance of the women and children. Lyvia and Elena were reported missing in September 2016, Maricar at the end of 2017, Marry Rose and her daughter in May 2018 and Arian in July 2018.
Responding to the criticism, Angelides reiterated that the police chief had ordered an administrative inquiry which would assign responsibility if any dereliction of duty is found.
“The Chief of police has assigned a trilateral committee to conduct the inquiry,” Angelides said. “They will first interview people who have submitted complaints regarding the disappearances.”
