Investigators, including forensic officers, collected evidence from the scene for scientific examination, head of Cyprus police Michalis Nikolaou said.

According to initial examinations, the woman reportedly had "bruises all over her body" and two black eyes.

Her body was transferred to the Nicosia general hospital morgue, where an autopsy was due to take place at 1.30pm on Thursday.

Police are hoping that the results will explain how the woman died.

The investigation into her death is ongoing.

Statistics from the Cyprus Ministry of Finance suggest that 30,000 to 40,000 Britons live in the district of Paphos.

While approximately 60,000 to 90,000 UK citizens live permanently in Cyprus.

In total, 16,600 UK nationals submitted a request to acquire certificates of residence from the day of the 2016 referendum for Brexit until January 2020.
