19.09.2018 - At the end of August, the National Police arrested a 29-year-old ambulance technician in Arrecife, Lanzarote, who took a woman who had collapsed unconscious on the street to hospital by ambulance. Despite the resuscitation efforts during the trip, the woman could not be revived. Shortly afterwards, the victim's ex-husband filed a complaint because a large number of debits had been made to a joint account, resulting from purchases made with two cards that the deceased had with her at the time of her death. Thus, €1,453 were debited and another payment of €2,087 was blocked by the bank. The purchases were made in different shops and hotel reservations were paid via Internet.
The police investigation led directly to a technical assistant who was on duty on the day of the victim's death and who accompanied the woman in the ambulance. more...

19.09.2018 - Yesterday the La Laguna council yesterday ordered the eviction of a house in the Finca España district because the building is in such poor condition that it is in danger of collapsing. The resident, who is also in need of help, was offered accommodation in a residence, but a family member agreed to take him in. Therefore, the Social Welfare Office granted him help in the form of food, the provision of household items and home care service. He is free to accept a place in the home or to return to his house after it has been repaired. The building was bricked up to prevent squatters from settling in and endangering their lives. more...

18.09.2018 - The Italian man, Davide Fervorini aged 39 years had been missing since September 11. The last time he was seen was last Tuesday in the Tafira district of Las Palmas in Gran Canaria and since then there were no traces of him. As it became known yesterday, the body of a dead man was discovered near the Barranco de Guiniguada at El Fondillo on Saturday. It is possible that the body belongs to the missing man. Neither the police nor the Italian Embassy has so far been able to confirm unequivocally that it was Fervorini. Due to the advanced state of decay of the body, the results of the autopsy must be awaited. They should also clarify what killed him. more...
