The Spin

Narrative A

Murder is not an appropriate charge. He acted to free his wife from the immense pain of her illness - the couple's daughter has testified to her parents' devotion to each other and her mother's desire to die.

Narrative B

It's unclear whether Hunter had his wife's consent and, regardless of her wishes, euthanasia is still illegal in Cyprus. He was recently ordered to attend a psychiatric facility in response to the killing and attempted overdose, and his actions demand intense investigation.
