A British man was stabbed in the neck and killed in Ayia Napa after he and a friend had a row with two locals over urinating in public, a witness has told Cyprus police. Low was stabbed in the neck, while Barker was stabbed in the back. A third Turkish Cypriot is being sought who may have helped the suspects slip across the border to the breakaway Turkish Cypriot republic in the north of the island, according to the Cyprus News Agency. Cyprus has been divided along ethnic lines since a 1974 Turkish invasion in the wake of a coup aiming at union with Greece. Low’s mother, Helen, 47, said Barker and her son had been due to fly back home on Sunday.
