Arrest warrants issued for cousins
1:42pm Monday 12th May 2008
TWO cousins are fighting extradition after Cyprus European arrest warrants were issued against them.
The Cypriot Supreme Court overthrew acquittals handed to Luke Atkinson and Michael Binnington by a lower court and last month sentenced them to three years imprisonment for culpable manslaughter and one year for grievous bodily harm, to run concurrently.
They were not allowed a retrial.
Lawyer Karen Todner, who is acting on Mr Atkinson and Mr Binnington's behalf, said the warrants will need to be translated, which could take some time.
