The lawyer for a British man charged with negligence in the death of his 3-year-old son at a Cyprus hotel said a court has allowed his client to join his family for the boy’s funeral in the United Kingdom.
Lawyer Alexandros Alexandrou said the court lifted all travel restrictions imposed on his client for a month. The order expires Sept. 15 when the 37-year-old man is due back in Cyprus to answer charges against him. If he doesn’t return on that date, a European arrest warrant will be issued against him, Alexandrou said.
Court proceedings will resume on Sept. 17.
The man and his family were reportedly a few days into their vacation in Cyprus’ southwestern resort town of Paphos earlier this month when the boy fell from a fourth-floor window in the hotel.
