Father Sentenced to €3,000 Fine After Two‑Year‑Old Son Falls to Death at Cyprus Hotel

A father whose two-year-old boy fell to his death at a five-star hotel in Cyprus has been fined 3,000 euro (£2,500)

Joshua Foster thought the window was closed when he placed his son on the sill to show him a view of a water park and “lost control” of him, Paphos District Court heard.

The boy fell nearly 40ft (12.1m) from the fourth floor of the King Evelthon Beach Hotel and Resort on 12 July, the first day of the family’s holiday in Chlorakas.

Foster, 37, from Essex, admitted causing death through a reckless, rash or dangerous act and was sentenced on Friday morning. He held back tears as his sentence was handed down, then hugged his lawyer and parents.
