British father admits causing death of two-year-old son in Cyprus hotel fall
–
Neutral summary
Joshua Foster, 37, an AI director at "KPMG", pleaded guilty to causing death by a rash, dangerous or reckless act at a court in Paphos. His son fell from the fourth-floor window of the "King Evelthon Beach Hotel and Resort" in Chlorakas on 12 July, the first day of the family holiday. The court heard the boy fell through an open window when his father was holding him around the waist and swinging him from side to side, though "WalesOnline" reports Foster disputed the swinging. The child fell about ten metres and was declared dead on arrival at Paphos General Hospital. Foster was arrested hours after the incident. His lawyer spoke of a "momentary lapse of attention". He faces up to four years in prison, with sentencing expected within two weeks.
