A 42-year-old Syrian man, believed to have stabbed to death his estranged wife earlier this week, in Paphos province, southwestern Cyprus, was arrested on Thursday in Limassol, Cypriot police said.
Hussein Farouh was reportedly hiding in the house of compatriots. He was arrested after police received a tip off.
Farouh was wanted in connection with the murder of Ghada Al Nouri, 31, who was found stabbed in her flat in Paphos on Monday.
She had wounds to her chest believed to have been caused by a knife.
Nouri had filed a complaint to police against her husband on January 10 and a restraining order was issued by a court.
The victim's neighbors said they have reported a fight between the victim and her estranged husband at 7.00 am on Monday, just before the murder happened, however, the police didn't respond.
The murder was found by a social worker who came to visit the family and found the mother dead.
Nouri had seven children. Her two older children, aged 16 and 17, live in Syria while the rest, aged between three and 11, were living with her.
The family arrived in Cyprus some 18 months ago and were asylum seekers.
