The National Police are investigating the death of a 45-year-old man, thought to be a non Spaniard, in a country house in the Elche district of Daimés, close to La Marina. The death occurred shortly before midnight on Monday in circumstances that are still to be fully explained.
It is thought that the murder was committed outside the house, in its yard. Local residents in the area claim that this property had been illegally occupied for almost a year.
For the moment, the police are investigating the case as a homicide, although no hypothesis has been ruled out. The case has been declared as confidential, so, for the moment, no further details have been revealed.
The victim, aged 45, died from at least two gunshot wounds, one to the head and one to the chest, and was apparently in the house with his ex-partner and their daughter, whom he was visiting.
The Elche Local Police were first on the scene after responding to an emergency. When they arrived at the property, just before midnight, they found the man with gunshot wounds, immediately performing first aid but without success.
For the moment, the National Police are investigating the death as homicide and have not made any arrests. The incident has caused much concern in this rural area of Camp d’Elx.
