A British man who ran down and killed a Swedish mother with a beach buggy in Cyprus while high on cannabis' has been jailed for just one year - sparking fury from her grieving husband.
Camilla Christina Pamdahl, 46, had left her daughter, five, at the kids club of the hotel where she was staying so she could visit a local supermarket.

He was fast tracked through legal proceedings after pleading guilty and earlier this week sentenced to 12 months jail with the news being broken to Camilla’s heartbroken husband Jonas, 51, by MailOnline.
