Cyprus court adjourns again the trial of Briton who killed terminally ill wife

Prosecutors request more time to study case of David Hunter, who admits smothering his partner

A court in Cyprus has adjourned the trial of a Briton, accused of murdering his cancer-stricken wife, for an eighth time, highlighting the sensitivity that the case has elicited in a country that continues to outlaw euthanasia.

A judge sitting in the south-western town of Paphos delayed the hearing for a week after the prosecutor told the tribunal that the attorney general, the island's top legal officer, required more time to study the file.
