A Lebanese man who took his three children abroad while their mother was away has been handed a suspended jail term by a family court judge.
Judge Sonia Harris concluded that electronic appliance dealer Samer Abdul Sater, 41, had breached court orders to return the youngsters to their mother Flora Abdul-Sater, 30, in England and was in contempt.
She imposed an 18-month jail term, suspended for six months, after being told how Mrs Abdul-Sater had not seen sons William, seven, and Alexander, five, and daughter Jazmin, three, since they were taken from their then home in Egham, Surrey, in June 2022.
