JAILED: Almeria’s Provincial Court sentenced the woman.
Murder bid By Joe Gerrard A 39-YEAR-OLD who attempted to kill another by running her over in Pulpi has been sentenced to two years in prison by an Almeria court. The Provincial Court of Almeria also ordered the defendant pay a total of €5,900 in compensation to the victim and to a company for property damage at the hearing on Monday. The court ruled she must go on probation for five years and not contact the other woman for seven years. The sentence was reached following a plea bargain agreement struck with
prosecutors. The defendant admitted she drove to the woman’s home and kept the engine running while waiting for her to leave in September 2015. The court heard the 39-yearold then accelerated towards the victim and chased her down the street. She then ploughed into the woman who rolled up onto the bonnet and clung to the windscreen wipers to stop falling off. The defendant then crashed into a brick wall of a food store while the victim remained on the bonnet.

She then got out of the vehicle brandishing a hoe and began assaulting the victim who was able to grab the tool to stop being hit further. Prosecutors told the court the defendant was heard screaming at the victim: “I’m going to kill you.” The assault continued until Local Police officers arrived at the area. They arrested the defendant and seized her vehicle as part of the later probe. The victim was taken to hospital where she was treated for multiple injuries and took two months to recover, the court heard.
THE corpse of a 69year-old old man has been found in the toilets of a strip club in the in El Ejido area. The 112 Emergency Services line was alerted to the find at the venue in the Santa Maria del Aguila area in the early hours of last Friday. Staff members said they uncovered the body in the men’s lavatories. Local Police were then despatched to the club, on Avenida Entrevias, where they were joined by medics from
the 061 Emergency Health Line. Officers said the body showed no signs of the man having died violently or in suspicious circumstances. Their initial theory suggests the 69-year-old likely died of natural causes. The body was removed around two hours after it was found at the venue. Officers probing the death are waiting for the results of a post mortem examination to confirm how exactly the man died.
On the mend A DOG is looking for a new home after undergoing emergency treatment for neck wounds. A resident found the animal abandoned in a cemetery in Berja. The local found the dog scared, starving and with wounds across its neck. The woman brought the dog food until she could gain its trust and take it to the vets for treatment. Animal medics removed its collar, made of leather and wire, which then exposed the wounds. El Refugio, an animal shelter, took the dog in after it was treated for its wounds. Staff there said the wounds were likely caused by the dog, who has been dubbed Pepita Banana, and got the cuts from wearing a collar too small for it. “Whoever owned her put a collar on her when she was a puppy, but as time passed her neck grew and gradually strangled her,” they said. The dog has since made a full recovery.
