BREAKING: Elderly man cleared of murder after killing terminally ill wife.
David Hunter has been cleared of murder – but found guilty ofmanslaughter – following the death of his terminally-ill wife.Hunter, a retired British miner, killed his terminally ill wife after she ‘cried and begged’ him to do it, a court previously heard.Cypriot judges accepted that Hunter had a ‘loving’ and ‘dream’ relationship with his wife Janice, director of Justice Abroad Michael Polak said.
He told reporters: ‘The court accepted evidence that … on that morning she asked him to end her life.’In May, he broke down in tears as he told his trial that he would ‘never in a million years’ have taken Janice’s life unless she had asked him to.He added: ‘She wasn’t just my wife, she was my best friend.’and said he eventually decided to grant his wife’s wish after she became ‘hysterical’.
Hunter, from Ashington in Northumberland, said: ‘For five or six weeks before she died she was asking me to help her. She was asking me more every day. ‘In the last week she was crying and begging me. Every day she asked me a bit more intensely to do it.’ Before he finished giving evidence, he asked to address the judge, who he told: ‘My wife was suffering and she actually said: “I don’t want to live any more,” and I still said no.‘Then she started to become hysterical. I was hoping she would change her mind. I loved her so much. I did not plan it, I swear to God.’

Association of cardiovascular health at old age with all-cause mortality: a prospective cohort study in China - BMC GeriatricsBackground Cardiovascular disease has become the leading cause of death worldwide, but there is a lack of data on whether cardiovascular health (CVH) is associated with elderly mortality in China. We investigated the relationship between the ideal CVH score of Chinese elderly and the all-cause mortality. Methods The Beijing Elderly Comprehensive Health Cohort Study included a total of 4,499 participants aged 60 years and above. The CVH metric was calculated at baseline and had a score ranging from 0 to 12. The relationship of CVH metrics with all-cause mortality was investigated using Cox proportional hazard regression analysis. The robustness of results was tested using subgroup and sensitivity analysis. Results The median CVH score among participants was 8.00 (2.00), with only 8.0% scoring 11–12 points. 667 deaths were observed during an average follow-up time of 8.2 years. Participants with a CVH score of 11–12 had a decreased risk of all-cause mortality when compared to those with a CVH score of 0–4(HR = 0.584, 95% CI: 0.373–0.913). Participants had a 7.5% lower risk of all-cause death with each unit higher CVH score (HR = 0.925, 95%CI: 0.885–0.967) with a linearly decreasing trend (P nonlinear = 0.575). The relationships were greater in younger elderly people and stroke patients (P interaction = 0.011 and 0.037. respectively). The consistency of significant trends in sensitivity analysis shows the robustness of association (P trend | 0.001). Conclusions Among the Chinese elderly, there was a linear relationship between improving CVH scores and a lower risk of all-cause mortality. Because of the enormous benefits brought by one point, strategies are essential for improving cardiovascular health attainment. Trial registration This study was registered at China Clinical Trial Registration Center (ChiCTR2100049866).
