August 20th 2024.
In the peaceful town of Zurgena, tragedy struck when a British man lost his life after being struck on the head with a piece of gardening equipment in Spain. The incident took place in the early hours of August 12, in the picturesque town located in the south-eastern Almeria province.
The victim, who has not been identified, was immediately taken to the hospital but unfortunately succumbed to his severe head injuries on August 19. It is believed that the perpetrator, a Spanish resident, was the victim's neighbor and had allegedly become agitated when the British man walked his dog near his home.
The suspect, who remains unnamed, was initially arrested on suspicion of attempted homicide shortly after the attack. However, as more details emerged, the charge was upgraded to homicide, according to sources from the police. A spokesperson for the Civil Guard confirmed that the incident has now been "clarified" and that the case is now in the hands of the court, which has launched an ongoing investigation.
It is unclear whether the deceased man resided permanently in Zurgena or had a vacation home in the area. The small town, with a population of around 3,000, is nestled in the beautiful Almanzora valley, in close proximity to the towns of Albox, Huercal-Overa, and Los Carasoles. It is also conveniently located a 40-minute drive away from popular tourist destinations such as Mojacar and Vera, and about an hour and a half from the provincial capital, Almeria.
