Driver Sentenced to 6 Years in Prison After Running Over Woman Twice

A driver in Paphos has been sentenced to 6 years in prison for manslaughter and 3 years for leaving the scene of an accident, after running over a woman twice with his car. The woman had been hit by another vehicle. The Court of Appeal upheld the original verdict, rejecting the convicted driver's appeal, who argued that the sentence was excessive. According to the evidence, the driver saw the woman lying in the road, but instead of helping her, he ran her over twice and then left the scene. The incident occurred on a road with rain and limited visibility.
