Stabbing suspect sought Detectives seeking unnamed British expat
STABBED: The victim remains hospitalised. By Andy Mansell Guardia Civil investigators in Orihuela are scouring the area for a 53-year-old British taxi driver. The officers answered an emergency call from his daughter who was at the couple’s home in the Pinar de Campoamor district of Orihuela on Monday morning. She had made a visit to her parents just after
9am to discover her mother lying in a pool of blood on the floor with a large knife in her back. The 42-year-old victim, also British, was in a serious condition, but her alleged attacker was missing. Paramedics were called and immediately transferred the wounded woman to a nearby hospital as police launched a probe into the incident, which is being treated as a murder attempt.
Firefighting MURCIAN firefighters were out in force last Saturday as two fires broke out across the region. The first fire to be reported was in Beniajan at around 5.00pm when 112 received several calls from residents describing three-metre flames in San Jose de la Vega. The fire originated from an orchard and burned within close proximity to a high-end car dealership.
It struck a high voltage electricity supply line causing power cuts across Torreaguera and Beniajan. Then 112 began receiving more calls from residents just after 6.00pm as the fire approached Los Henarejos, particularly Calle Casino and Carril de Los Lucios. The second fire to be reported was on the banks of the river Segura at La Arboleja at around 5.30pm when
112 received numerous calls along with a radio alert from the Cerillar watchtower, where the watchman described high flames and dense smoke. The fire could be seen from all over Murcia.
