A British dad has pleaded guilty to causing the death of his two-year-old son during a holiday in Cyprus.
The man was charged with causing death by a reckless act, after his son fell ten metres from the fourth floor of the King Evelthon Beach Hotel and Resort in Chlorakas.
The dad is thought to have put the toddler on a sill beside an open window, believing it to be closed, while waiting for a lift.
Sadly, the child was declared dead on arrival at Paphos General Hospital shortly after the incident.
The dad pleaded guilty to causing death by a rash, reckless or dangerous act at a court in Paphos, Cyprus.
The man was allowed to return to the UK for his child’s funeral, on condition that he flew back to Cyprus last week in order for the plea hearing to take place.
Paphos district court was initially told in July the boy fell through an open window when his father was holding him around his waist and swinging him from side to side.
