A former miner from Northumberland has been released from prison after being sentenced to two years for manslaughter after killing his terminally ill wife at their home in near Paphos, Cyprus in December 2021.
David Hunter, from Ashington, had denied murder and claimed his wife Janice Hunter, who had blood cancer, had "begged him" to end her life and he had done so to end her suffering.
On Friday 21 July, a panel of three judges concluded Hunter was guilty of manslaughter. Today they sentenced him to two years in prison. However, he has already served 19 months in custody and has been released, his lawyers have said.
