British father charged after son's fatal fall in Paphos awaits court plea
A British father charged with causing death by recklessness following the death of his three-year-old son in a fall from a hotel window in Paphos is due to appear before court on Thursday. The 37-year-old father returned to Cyprus on Monday, surrendering his travel documents as per court conditions after travelling to the UK for his son's funeral.
The boy fell from a fourth-floor window at a hotel in Chlorakas on July 12, the first day of the family holiday. Investigations are focused on whether an open window section led to the child slipping from the father's arms. The father was playing with the boy outside the hotel prior to the incident.
At Thursday’s hearing, the father is expected to enter a plea if no decision has been made on a defence request to suspend the prosecution. Should he plead guilty, the case will move toward sentencing, while a not guilty plea would likely result in a trial date being set.
