AN Enfield student has been cleared of the manslaughter of a fellow Brit in a club while on holiday in Greece.

Andrew Symeou denied killing Jonnny Hiles in a Zante nightclub in 2007, and the 22-year-old was cleared at the end of a court hearing in the country today.

Mr Hiles fell from a podium in the club and suffer fatal head injuries. Greek prosecutors said Mr Symeou threw a punch which caused the fall and he was extradited to face trial in 2009.

The trial was delayed repeatedly and, once it started, had been heard intermittently since April in a courtroom in Greece.

The case of Mr Symeou has made national headlines after Greek authorities sought his extradition using the controversial European Arrest Warrant, before any court in the UK had seen the evidence being presented against him.

He was then held in a notorious Greek prison for ten months because a judge denied him bail because he was not a citizen of the country.
