Cyprus President Fires Police Chief After Convicted Killer's Escape

President Christodoulides acts decisively following the escape of Doros Theophanous, leading to a nationwide manhunt and public outrage.

Theophanous, serving a life sentence for a 2011 double murder, escaped during an eight-hour family visit.
President Christodoulides returned from the UN General Assembly to immediately replace the Police Chief and his deputy.
A nationwide manhunt ended with Theophanous' arrest at a Limassol convenience store.
Three police officers and four prison guards have been suspended pending an investigation into their roles in the escape.
A 26-year-old man suspected of aiding Theophanous is also in police custody.
