The previous plea of manslaughter which was thrown out by the Judge, has now been replaced with premeditated murder.
His defence lawyers are now preparing a case against the judgement using European law which is different to what the verdict decided.

At this rate the poor man may die in prison where he has been languishing for months between numerous court appearances.

You are perfectly correct; we do not know the full facts. However there is one fact we do know – he has been in clink for well over a year, without trial and this, by itself, is inhuman under the circumstances.

I personally know of 2 people who opted to leave Cyprus for that reason when they were terminally ill (my mother was one of them).

This really did happen few years ago.Unfortunately, anyone remember Connor O'Dyer, who bought and paid for a property from a builder in the Larnaca area? An unscrupulous developer, the house was sold in Connors absence to another buyer. Despite investing much money in legal help and numerous court hearing promised, they were continually adjourned for one reason or no reason. Eventually Connor lost and lost money. I think he went back to the UK.
Then there was the case of the aBritish girl who was gang raped in Agia Napa. It was an appalling example of flawed justice. Only resolved when her parents engaged top flight lawyers and the backing of an International justice organisation who gave expert advice, was her case brought to the Supreme Court , Nicosia when she was exonerated.
Is justice here guaranteed? I leave it to individuals to decide.
Hence I am unhappy with David Hunter's case which drags on and on.

It is illegal in a lot of countries, including the UK.
