It is sad but I can't say it is surprising. The Spanish police's idea of "zero tolerance" seems to be to tolerate any amount of obvious criminal behaviour and do zero.

It is very tragic. Exactly where it happened may not be relevant, as this is the sort of thing which sadly could occur in any part of any town, and is perhaps the sort of incident which we are more likely to hear about happening here in the UK. However, my understanding is that the victim had been staying at Camping Villasol which is on Avenida De L'Amiral Bernat De Sarria, as you head out of the resort towards the Altea/Albir road behind Benidorm Palace.

WE got robbed and beaten up in Benidorm 3 years back , they didnt get hubby,s wallet as he had it cupped in his hand, we were really foolish and had all our cards in his wallet. We didnt report it as we had been drinking and wouldnt have been able to give a descripton only to say they were British. Luckily it never put us off Benidorm as this could happen anywhere but it made us a lot more vigilant on our holidays. Our condolences to the mans family

There's some info about the murder in this weeks Costa Blanca news but I can't find it on the online paper, the only information that I have is from my brother and his partner in Beni.

Apparantly the original story is not correct and there's much more too it.

I don't want to go in to detail on here without having a proper link to the facts so perhaps someone else can find a link so that members can be informed.

Sue two men were killed in separate incidents. One from Essex and the other from Scotland. The scottish man was involved in fighting but the guy from Essex wasn't. Karen

Thanks for that Karen, I'm glad that I didn't go in to detail without having the facts.

This week's Costa Blanca News is not yet online, it is sometimes a Friday afternoon before webpages are updated.

However, it may not be appropriate for us to comment on the details of individual cases such as this, or on any media speculation which might be portrayed as fact. For that reason, it is best that we allow this discussion to close now.
