Remand over holiday island death | |
(about 4 hours later) | |
A student faces an extradition hearing over the death of an 18-year-old roller hockey player on holiday in Greece. | |
Andrew Symeou, 19, was arrested over the death of Jonathon Hiles from Cardiff, who died after an incident at a nightclub on Zakynthos in July 2007. | |
The Bournemouth University student, of Enfield, north London, was remanded on bail by Westminster magistrates. | |
He was bailed to return to the same court on 7 July, when a decision will be taken on extraditing him to Greece. | |
The student was arrested by the Metropolitan Police extradition unit on suspicion of manslaughter at his family home on Thursday night after a European arrest warrant was issued by Greek authorities. | |
His passport was also seized by police. | |
Mr Hiles, from Llandaff North, Cardiff, was with friends on Zakynthos when he was injured. | |
He was taken to hospital in Athens where he died on 22 July, 2007. | |
Mr Symeou was given bail after his mother, Helen, pledged surety of £20,000 for him. | |
Under the bail conditions he must reside at the family home until he next appears in court. | |
Mr Hiles had represented the Great Britain roller hockey team at various age groups and also played ice hockey for Cardiff Devils' junior team. |
