Event Summary

A British man charged with negligence in the death of his 3-year-old son at a hotel in Cyprus — Paphos, Cyprus, has been granted permission by a Cypriot court to travel to the United Kingdom to attend the boy's funeral. The court lifted travel restrictions for one month, expiring September 15, when the man must return to Cyprus to answer charges. If he fails to return, a European Arrest Warrant will be issued. The man was released on bail with conditions including surrendering his passport, weekly check-ins, and a 20,000-euro bond. The circumstances of the fall remain unclear. His lawyer, Alexis Alexandrou, took over the defense after the previous attorney withdrew and requested more time to study evidence not yet provided by the prosecution.
