Briton pleads guilty to ‘recklessly’ causing death of his son in Cyprus

Man’s lawyer says he accepted charge over toddler’s fall from window to avoid harrowing trial for himself and his family

A British man has pleaded guilty to “recklessly” causing the death of his son, 10 weeks after the toddler fell from a fourth-floor hotel window in Cyprus.

The 37-year-old, who appeared before the district court of Paphos on Tuesday, accepted the charge of causing the accident through a “rash, reckless and dangerous act” on the first day of a family holiday near Paphos on 12 July.
