A 30-year-old man who was recently arrested for a number of sexual assaults in Marousi may have been involved in the murder of a 69-year-old pensioner in the area.

The naked body of the 69-year-old woman had been found in an advance state of decay in the basement stairwell. Police are now awaiting an examiner report to determine whether the victim had been sexually assaulted.

Although the 30-year-old suspect has been linked to five confirmed sexual assaults in the area, police officials believe that there may be many more victims who have yet to come forward.

The 30-year-old was taken to the examiner on Wednesday, where he reportedly claimed to be suffering from mental health problems.
