British man, resident of Paphos, who has been referred for direct trial before the Permanent Criminal Court in a case of attempted murder against his wife was released on parole.
On 28.10.22, the 63-year-old British man allegedly attempted to murder his British wife by blocking her mouth and nose with his hand. A heated verbal confrontation had preceded.
The 63-year-old went to the Pegeia Police Station the next day and confessed to his act. He was later transferred to a Mental Health Clinic in Limassol and was admitted for treatment for 15 days. Following his discharge he was arrested on a court warrant for the offence of attempted murder and the case was registered last month.
Today he was charged with five counts of manslaughter to which he responded by not admitting and the case was set for 1 February 2023. The Prosecution requested that he remain in custody but the defence requested that he be released with restrictions, a request which was granted by the court.
He signed a bail of 50 thousand euros, surrendered his travel documents, his name will be placed on the list of persons banned from leaving the country and he will also present himself three times a week at a police station.
The court also issued an order banning him from approaching his wife within 300 meters.
