Confirmation of prison sentence for fatal traffic incident in Paphos
January 28, 2026
The Court of Appeal upheld a six-year prison sentence for a 48-year-old man involved in a fatal hit-and-run incident in Paphos in 2021. The victim, a 60-year-old woman, was struck and abandoned by the defendant, who claimed he thought she was debris. The appeal court dismissed the defendant's appeal, finding the sentence to be fair. The details of the accident are shocking, with three collisions occurring before the victim was abandoned. The accused appeared in court but did not admit to the more serious charges.
