A Cypriot soldier has been arrested for the murders of two women he met on a dating site as the search for one of the victim's six-year-old daughter continues.
Cyprus police chiefs today confirmed that the island was faced with an 'unprecedented' crime after the bodies of both women, believed to be from the Philippines, were discovered inside a flooded mine earlier this month.
Police divers are also searching for a missing six-year-old girl, who is the daughter of one of the victim's, in a lake outside the capital Nicosia.
Following the discovery of the women, a 35-year-old Cypriot army officer was placed in custody on suspicion of murdering all three victims, in what local media have dubbed Cyprus's 'first serial killings'.
