- A British father from Essex has pleaded guilty to causing the death of his toddler son by a reckless act during a holiday in Cyprus.
- The tragedy occurred on 12 July when the toddler fell from a fourth-floor window at the King Evelthon Beach Hotel and Resort in Chlorakas.
- While court records initially stated the father was swinging the boy near an open window, he disputes this, claiming he sat his son on a window ledge without realising the window was open.
- Cyprus Attorney-General George Savvides rejected a last-minute petition from the legal team to drop the case on humanitarian grounds, meaning the father now faces up to four years in prison.
- A court official confirmed that the case will return to Paphos district court on 5 October for prosecution facts and defence mitigation.
