Man who abducted son found in occupied areas

A PAKISTANI man and his three-year-old son he abducted last week were yesterday found in the occupied areas.

Unficyp yesterday notified the police that the man and his son had been found in the north and that arrangements were being made for their transfer to the free areas.

Police were looking for Magid Yusuf Han after he failed to return the boy to his Cypriot ex-wife.

Han had picked up his son Daniil from his in-laws’ home in Pallouriotissa, Nicosia, last Wednesday.

Under the terms of the court order that gave his wife custody of the child, Han had been due to return Daniil by 6.30pm the same day.

Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people.
