Human skull found in Koloni

A human skull was found by a farmer in Koloni on Sunday, Paphos police spokesman Michalis Nicolaou said.

He said the owner of a livestock unit found the human skull outside his premises.

Nicolaou said it was believed that it was brought there by stray dogs.

Paphos police officers, with the assistance of detection dogs and volunteers of the Civil Defence are in the process of conducting a search of the area.

No time of death was specified, but the skull did not appear to belong to someone who died very recently, Nicolaou said.
