David Hunter, 76, who killed his wife, Janice, found not guilty of her murder by judges

A district court in Cyprus has ruled that a British man committed manslaughter when he asphyxiated his terminally ill wife in their retirement home on the island in December 2021.

Judges sitting in the coastal city of Paphos said they had not found the former miner, David Hunter, 76, guilty of premeditated murder - the charge he had faced, which carries a life sentence.
