A doctor testifying in the “assisted suicide” trial said the woman, who was allegedly terminally ill, had a good chance of recovery. It has been reported Mirror.
The pensioner was brought before the court in Paphos, Cyprus, on charges of murdering his wife. The British man who settled in Cyprus is trying to prove that his 75-year-old wife begged him to commit suicide and that she did it out of mercy.
The suspect claimed that his wife suffered from terminal leukemia, but the haematologist who conducted the examination stated that in reality the deceased had myelodysplastic syndrome. According to the doctor, it can lead to leukemia in about 30 percent of cases. But the doctor could not exactly determine the life expectancy of a patient with such a diagnosis.
It is known that the accused had attempted suicide before that, the forensic psychiatrist reported that the retired person was experiencing dissociation, that is, the statements given at that moment could not be added to the case. However, the judge ruled that the suspect was fully conscious as he took the pills and called his brother who killed his wife. It was also reported that the daughter of the murdered woman spoke to her father via video link right after her mother’s death.
