Murder suspect changes story
No doubt?
A dramatic sight.
Enormous water spout sparks shock VICTIM: Rosemary Broadwell. By James Hill A British expatriate accused of beating his wife to death with a walking stick has changed his story. It comes as pensioner Charlie Bevill-Warcup, 78, claimed that his 76-year-old partner Rosemary Broadwell died in an accident as his trial began in Elche, having originally confessed to murdering her in a drunken rage. The incident allegedly occurred during an argument over money at their home in San Miguel de Salinas. The victim had gone into the kitchen at his home to fetch ice when she reportedly slipped and fell face down on the floor, calling for her partner with a bloodied nose as she was unable to get herself up owing to back problems.
In an initial statement to detectives, Bevill-Warcup said he hit her repeatedly with his walking stick, telling her she was stupid and that he intended to leave her on the floor overnight. He then waited two days before moving the body to a remote area of Algorfa, where he buried her in a shallow grave covered in brushwood. During this time, he maintained his normal routine, telling friends and neighbours that Rosemary had disappeared until pressed by the victim’s daughter, who was becoming worried for the safety of her mother. He subsequently, contacted the Guardia Civil to report Rosemary, who lived in Ciudad Quesada, as a missing person. Prosecutors have requested a 19-year jail sentence as the trial continues.
THIS is the dramatic moment that the rupture of a giant water pipe saw a dramatic 40 metre-high spout of water emerge near an industrial estate in Orihuela. Local Police received reports from concerned residents stating that the huge geyser had appeared and could be seen from several kilometres away. After several hours technicians were able to regain control of the water pressure, and started work to fix the pipe. According to Redovan Council, the water supply for the surrounding areas was not affected by the breach since deposits were full.
