Woman in court in connection with the murder of Dartford's George Low in Ayia Napa, Cyprus

A woman will appear in court today in connection with the murder of a Kent man in Cyprus.

George Low, 22, of Ladywood Road in Dartford, died after being stabbed in the neck outside a bar in the early hours of Sunday morning. His friend Ben Barker, also 22, was stabbed in the back multiple times during the same attack and is recovering in hospital.

Officers investigating the incident issued arrest warrants for two Turkish Cypriot men, aged 22 and 43, on Tuesday night.

The Greek Cypriot woman, aged 49 from Larnaca, was arrested on suspicion of helping them flea to the north of the country.

According to the Cyprus Mail, local police say the woman, from Kamares in Larnaca, told officers her 22-year-old boyfriend had confided to her that he and the 43-year-old had stabbed George and Ben following an altercation.

She said the argument was triggered when the men rebuked the Britons for urinating in public and admitted travelling to Ayia Napa on the night of the killing to deliver a change of clothes to her boyfriend.

She is then said to have returned the next day to pick up a phone he had hidden.

Eyewitnesses told KentOnline this week that the attack was "completely random", as tributes to George continue to pour in.

Speaking outside the family home on Monday morning, his father Martyn said "he could not wish for a better son".

More than £15,000 has also been raised in his memory since the attack, which took place on what was set to be the pair's last night of a week-long holiday on the Mediterranean island.
