COSTA BLANCA NORTH
YOUR PAPER, YOUR VOICE, YOUR OPINION
KILLER Paul Durant, given the moniker the ‘Costa Cannibal’ by the press, was arrested in 2004 for killing his girlfriend, Karen Durrell. The police raided the apartment they shared in Calpe and found a knife, a saw, and blood in the bath tub but no signs of a body. Upon his arrest, Durant told police that he beaten her with a mallet, and said: “After I killed
her, I cut her body into small parts, eating what parts of her I found edible.” He has since retracted the claims that he cannibalised her remains. It has now been reported that Durrant has been freed from prison in the UK where he was transferred in 2010 to finish his 12- year sentence. He is reported to be living in a flat in London.

‘Costa Cannibal’ freed
Mum killed by her own car A WOMAN died after being run over by her own car in Castalla, Alicante after she got out of the vehicle and it rolled backwards over her. The 38-year-old mother of two was with both her children when she was fatally injured. They were in the car at the time along with a young boy and a baby. The police reported that the woman had put the handbrake on, but for whatever reason it became unhitched and the car began rolling whilst she was behind it. Paramedics arrived at the scene shortly after the accident was reported but they were unable to save her life as she had apparently died at the scene.
