Mr Hunter is seen slumped in a chair and barely conscious as his daughter says: 'Daddy, daddy, just concentrate on me. Daddy concentrate on me.

'Daddy, forget about everybody else. Forget about everything else. Concentrate on me.

'Not on her. Not anybody else, just me and you, daddy, you love me you know you do. I'm your girl.

Mr Hunter is accused of murdering wife Janice, 74, who had been suffering from terminal leukaemia at their retirement home in Cyprus. He is being tried in the city of Paphos on the island.

After suffocating her he called his brother, William, in the UK to confess to killing his wife – before saying he was going to take his own life with a drugs and alcohol overdose.

William alerted the police who dashed to Lesley's Norfolk home and advised her to video call her father on December 18, 2021. It is not clear from the footage whether Mr Hunter had already taken the concoction or was just in shock.

It shows a British police officer say: 'Have you taken something David, because we can get someone to help?'

The 50-year-old daughter then says: 'We love you. We don't care what you've done. we don't care. We just want you safe. We love you so much

'Daddy, daddy, we love you, love, we love you so much, so much, all I want is you safe. Daddy. Daddy.'

Mr Hunter appeared emotional as the footage was played out on the day he gave evidence for the first time since he was arrested over 12 months ago.
