BROTHERS AT WAR MAN HACKED IN STREET SHOWDOWN

By ALEX TRELINSKI Two Torrevieja brothers got embroiled in a street fight on Wednesday night in the city with one of them being stabbed to death over an apparent financial debt. The alleged killer sibling was also injured and was arrested some two kilometres away in the Aguas Nuevas area. He was taken to Torrevieja Hospital, and then given an ambulance ride yesterday morning to appear in court. According to eye­witness reports, the drama involving the two Indian men unfolded around 9.00pm on Wednesday evening, in the Calvario area of the city on Calle Clemente Gosálvez. The accused man parked his car and pressed the front door bell of the victim’s home, and asked him via the intercom to come outside. The 31 year old home owner then appeared, and then a brawl ensued with the visitor allegedly using a large knife to stab the victim, before fleeing the scene in his car. Local police and Guardia Civil offi­ cers found a man lying in a pool of blood and paramedics were unable to

revive him (pictured in the ambulance) due to the intensity of the injuries, as several vital organs had been punc­ tured by the knife, which was found next to the body. Eye­witnesses report several relatives of the dead man shouting and screaming at the scene of the incident. The police arrested the alleged per­ petrator in the Avenida de La Mancha area of Aguas Nuevas, with some reports suggesting that he was head­ ing for an Indian restaurant that he owned there. Officers took the 39 year old to Torrevieja Hospital for treatment due to stab wounds in his arms and

legs, and he stayed there overnight under guard. He was then carted off yesterday morning by ambulance for a preliminary appearance at the Torrevieja courthouse, before being taken back to hospital. The victim’s body was taken to the Anatomical Forensic Institute for an autopsy. The younger brother, according to reports, was also involved in the hospitality industry and was unmarried, whilst his older sibling is the father of three chil­ dren, with his wife quoted as saying that the alleged attack apparently hap­ pened over money that her husband felt was owed to him.
