British father 'was swinging his son, three, from side to side near fourth-floor window' before the child fell to his death at Cyprus hotel, court hears

A British father is accused of negligently causing the death of his three-year-old son during a holiday in Cyprus. The child fell to his death from a fourth-floor hotel window after allegedly being swung from side to side by his father, according to court testimony. The incident occurred on Sunday evening near Paphos, with the child landing on the hotel’s first-floor veranda and later dying at the hospital. The father, 37, has been arrested and is in police custody for eight days on suspicion of causing death through negligent and dangerous actions. Investigators are considering whether the window was left open unintentionally, and the family includes a five-year-old daughter who was present at the time. Legal experts suggest the hotel's potential liability remains under investigation.
