“Here When You Need Us”

Justice Abroad represents Mr David Hunter, a 75-year-old British man 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.

The trial was set to continue today (12 October 2022) in the Paphos Assize Court today, however the matter was adjourned until 18 November 2022 as the prosecution and defence move closer to an agreement on the facts of the case with the view to a possible plea deal at the next hearing.

Michael Polak, director of Justice Abroad, has stated that, “This is truly a tragic case, but it is pleasing that the prosecution and defence are moving closer together in regards agreeing the facts of this matter. We hope that the next hearing will be the final substantive hearing and that we are moving closer to getting David home to his family in the United Kingdom.”

David’s daughter, Lesley Cawthorne stated the following “As a family we still very much want to bring my dad home so that he can spend his remaining years with the people who love him.”
