British father fined after toddler falls from Cyprus hotel window

Joshua Foster pleaded guilty to causing the death of his two‑year‑old son after the child fell from an open fourth‑floor windowsill at the King Evelthon Beach Hotel and Resort in Chlorakas. The Paphos district court imposed a €3,000 fine on Foster. His lawyer, Alexandros Alexandrou, said the incident was an unintended lapse of attention, and the family issued a statement saying their son was “deeply loved.” The case follows a holiday stay in July when the father placed his son on the windowsill to view a nearby waterpark, unaware the window was open.
