There have been new developments in the case of the three-year-old child who lost his life after falling from a fourth-floor hotel window in Paphos.

The father’s attorney sent a letter to Police Headquarters, requesting his immediate conditional release. As he states, his detention is further exacerbating his psychological state following the tragic loss of his child.

“His only concern is to be released so that he and his wife can inform their 5-year-old daughter about the death of their 3-year-old son, to whom they have so far only said that their son is in the hospital. His continued detention is exacerbating his already severe psychological distress as well as that of his family.”

“I understand that you wish to travel to Bulgaria for your children’s funeral. The attorney will file the relevant motion, and the prosecution will respond in writing.”

As part of the proceedings, it was decided that on September 22, the father will be asked to state whether or not he pleads guilty to the charge of causing death by reckless conduct. A decision is also expected on whether the trial will be held behind closed doors.

The two little angels remain unburied. The children’s bodies are still in Cyprus, with authorities awaiting the results of histological examinations.

The unimaginable tragedy unfolded on the afternoon of June 28. A video shows the two siblings playing in the courtyard of the apartment building at 12 noon and, two hours later, getting into the vehicle.
