Son murder rap by Tara Rippin A MAN is in custody accused of killing his parents and brother, before waiting 30 hours to call the police. The 44-year-old, who it is claimed has a criminal record, stabbed his family at the shared home in Alicante last Thursday, but he didn’t notify emergency services until 1.40am Saturday. When he did, it’s claimed he said his brother was injured and bleeding profusely. And it is alleged he lived in the house with the corpses the whole time. According to sources, officers from the Local Police of Alicante visited the house in Maestro Enrique Granados, without knowing at that time they were going to find the corpses of three people. Inside were the ‘dead and bloody bodies’ of a 71-year-old man and a 69-year-old woman, the couple who owned the house, and a 42-year-old male, the son of the murdered couple and brother of the accused. The three victims, who are said to have been found in different rooms in the house, had reported stab wounds from a kitchen knife. The accused had injuries that are believed to have been selfinflicted.
TRIPLE MURDER: A couple and their son were found dead at family home in Alicante. Faced with the horrific scene, the officers handcuffed and arrested him for the triple crime. Shortly after, several patrols of the National Police and a medical emergency team arrived and the detainee was transferred to the Provincial Police Station of the National Police of Alicante. Initial investigations suggest the brothers had argued before the fatal stabbings. It’s claimed the siblings both used narcotic substances and argued frequently over money, with their parents mediating. After killing his brother first, the suspect is said to have waited for his parents to arrive and stabbed them in different parts of the house.
A team of Scientific Police conducted a thorough inspection at the crime scene.
The suspect remains in custody and was expected to appear in court this week.
