The trial of the murder case of a 75-year-old British woman begins today before the Paphos court, last December, by her husband, also British, aged 74.
- He said he killed his wife who suffered from leukaemia and took pills. Shock at the murder in Paphos
The couple lived in the village of Tremithousa.
The 74-year-old man claims that he killed his wife by blocking her nose and mouth with his hands because she was ill with leukaemia and he could not watch her suffer. He was then given medication to end his life but was saved when he was taken to Paphos Hospital where he had his stomach pumped. The case is of great interest to the British media.
The British man faces a charge of premeditated murder but his lawyer has asked the legal service to vary the charge to manslaughter.
It is noted that on the evening of December 18, the police became aware of the sad incident through Interpol which was informed by the brother of the alleged perpetrator who had received an email from the 74-year-old himself.
