SHOCK IN FIRGAS: 19-year-old-girl and her boyfriend arrested for murder of her grandfather

A gruesome murder has rocked the normally peaceful town of Firgas in Gran Canaria, after a 19-year-old woman and her partner were arrested for killing her own grandfather.

The 57-year-old victim was discovered early yesterday morning (Tuesday) by his sister, who found his lifeless body inside his home and immediately called the police. The Guardia Civil immediately launched an investigation, which quickly led them to the man’s granddaughter and her boyfriend.

In a chilling twist, the young woman allegedly confessed to the murder during questioning, implicating both herself and her partner in the crime. The brutal attack is believed to have happened on Monday night inside the family home.

As news of the murder spread, the close-knit community of Firgas has been left in shock and disbelief. Known for its picturesque scenery and tranquil lifestyle, this violent crime has sent shockwaves through the town.

The motive behind the killing remains under investigation, with authorities continuing to gather evidence to piece together what led to the horrifying act. The suspects are expected to appear in court today, Wednesday.
