A new adjournment was granted today in the case at the Paphos Criminal Court of the murder of Tremithousa which has caused huge interest in Great Britain. And today representatives of British electronic and print media attended the proceedings, which were adjourned for the fourth time since the hearing began in mid-September
The new short adjournment was requested today by the representative of the Prosecution. He said that his superiors at the Legal Service have requested additional time to study the new indictment and the facts of the case agreed by both sides in order to vary the indictment.
Hence the 75-year-old British man to change his answer by admitting the charge of manslaughter from that of premeditated murder that he is currently facing. It is noted that the manslaughter charge carries a lesser sentence than the premeditated murder charge he originally faced.
The chronicle of the family tragedy
Exactly one year ago last December, 75-year-old British man David Hunter caused the death of his wife
Janice who was in the terminal stage of cancer because, he later said, he could not bear to see her suffer. She even claimed that she was asking her partner of more than half a century to relieve her of the horrible pain.
For the police and the prosecution it was a premeditated murder since the victim had not left any note. The defence of the British man,who has been detained for the past year in the Central Prison, argued that it was not a premeditated crime by presenting medical reports on the victim's illness.
The case was re-set for December 20 with the court stating in a stern tone that there will be no further adjournment of the case.
