BRUTAL AFFAIR: The 14-year-old said he “just couldn’t take it any more.”
Stab death probe A police probe has been launched after a mum allegedly witnessed her 14-year-old son stab his brother, 19, to death in Alicante. The man - who has not been named reportedly died after a blow to the heart from a kitchen knife. According to reports in the local media, the Spanish pair had a fierce argument before the tragic escalation. Span i sh p r e ss sa y p o lice c a u g h t th e younger brother after he attempted to flee -
and he then confessed. A neighbour had reportedly called emergency services. The mother and officers unsuccessfully attempted to revive the older brother, reports suggest. An ambulance soon arrived and confirmed that the man had died. The incident took place in Calle Antares, in the La Florida neighbourhood, at around midday on Monday. The boy has been remanded in National Police custody in Alicante.
Family affair POLICE believe that a baby born to an 11-year-old girl in Murcia was fathered by her 14-year-old brother. If true, it would make the pair father and mother - and auntie and uncle - to the baby. The girl - who the Euro Weekly News is not identifying was taken to hospital on Saturday. Staff in the Hospital Universitario Virgen de la Arrixaca helped her give birth to a healthy boy. At first, the girl and her family - who originate from Bolivia - reportedly claimed they did not know she was pregnant. But earlier this week, National Police reportedly said the family had suggested her elder brother could be the baby’s father. He would have been 13 at the time of the alleged sexual act, meaning he is immune from prosecution, Spanish reports say. Police are expected to perform DNA tests.
