The Famagusta district court also revoked the tourist’s driving license for 18 months but authorities did not release his name. The Briton was involved in the killing of Camilla-Christina Pamdahl, 46, who was on holiday with her five-year-old daughter, on May 4. She was the victim of a fatal hit-and-run accident at a pedestrian crossing in the popular resort of Ayia Napa. The Briton was found guilty of causing death due to a reckless or dangerous act, driving a vehicle under the influence of drugs, abandoning the scene of an accident and failing to report it. The 25-year-old was driving a rented beach buggy at the time of the accident and fled the scene on foot, leaving the rental vehicle behind. Police said the driver was nearly five times over the legal alcohol limit of 9 mg with a test reading of 44 mg. He also tested positive for cannabis in his system when arrested. Ayia Napa is known for attracting partying British tourists every summer.
