Appeal Dismissed: 6-Year Sentence Upheld for Fatal Hit-and-Run

The Court of Appeal has upheld a six-year prison sentence for a 48-year-old man convicted of a fatal hit-and-run in Paphos in 2021. The man struck a 60-year-old woman with his car, abandoned her, and then ran her over again, believing she was debris. The Court of Appeal dismissed the convicted man's appeal, ruling that the sentence was fair and proportionate to the severity of the offense. According to testimonies and security camera footage, the man showed no remorse and made no attempt to help the unfortunate woman.
