“Here When You Need Us”
Justice Abroad represents Mr David Hunter, a 75-year-old British man who was facing murder charges in Cyprus after the death of his wife who was suffering from terminal blood cancer. Justice Abroad is working with Cypriot lawyers Nicoletta Charalambidou, an experienced human rights advocate, and Ritsa Pekri, a criminal law expert on this case.
There was a hearing today (5 December 2022) in the Paphos Assize Court where the case was adjourned until Tuesday 13 December 2022.
Michael Polak, director of Justice Abroad, has stated that:
“We remain hopeful that David will be sentenced before Christmas. There is no precedent for this kind of case in Cyprus and the Court will have to look at how sentencing is dealt with in other common law jurisdiction for cases such as this to come to a fair sentence.
With David’s strong mitigation, that he was acting on his wife’s request, that he is of previous good character, and that was in a loving relationship with his wife for more than 50 years, we remain hopeful that the Court may give a sentence which can be suspended. In Cyprus any sentence of up to 3 years imprisonment can be suspended”
