Two Brits found dead in a house in San Fulgencio

A British man and woman, aged 82 and 74, were found dead in a house in the municipality of San Fulgencio (Alicante) on Thursday. There were no signs of violence, according to sources close to the probe. The first probes to find out what happened with the deaths have been led by the Territorial Team of the Judicial Police of the Guardia Civil in AlmoradÃ.
Both were found by a Red Cross team at noon in a house in the La Marina housing area, which is mostly made up of British people. As part of an agreement with the town hall of San Fulgencio, they had been keeping an eye on them for a few weeks. The agreement, called the Municipal Comprehensive Emergency System (SIREM), is meant to help old people who live alone in this town in the far south of Alicante.
Sources say that they are not a married couple but rather friends who lived together and had medical problems, which is why social services were taking care of them while they were waiting for their identities to be confirmed.
A Red Cross spokeswoman told EFE that when the organisation visited this couple on January 18, they found that the man had fallen and needed help getting up. They also learnt that they both lived with a dog and had symptoms of long-term illnesses and trouble moving around.
The situation was reported to the city’s social services, which stepped up their tracking along with the humanitarian organisation. The monitoring continued until this Thursday, when two members of a health team that does social work went to the house but were met with silence when they knocked on the door.
A partially open window caught their attention, and when they looked inside, they saw feet on the floor. Following the action plan, they called the San Fulgencio local police and the fire department to come and check out the house.
A forensic evaluation will be done.
When they got inside, they saw one of the bodies on the floor and the other on one of the beds. The case was given to the Civil Guard of the nearby town of Guardamar del Segura until the people in charge of the Orihuela court on duty could take the bodies away.
The bodies of the two people who died have been taken to the Institute of Legal Medicine in Alicante so that, in the next few hours, a forensic test can be done to find out how they died and confirm their identities.
People think that San Fulgencio is one of the medium-sized towns in Spain with the most British residents because, out of a population of about 10,000, there are about 3,000 English people living there and only 2,800 Spanish people. This is mostly because of La Marina and Oasis, another nearby macro-urbanization.

Arrests for intimidating witnesses

Three men have been arrested by National Police for threatening and abusing two young men in order to persuade them to change their testimony during a police inquiry.
The police inquiry began after a young man complained to officers that he had been beaten and intimidated by three acquaintances in order to induce him to withdraw a statement he had given to police in Benidorm on an investigation in which they were involved.
One of the attackers recorded the attack on a cell phone and threatened to use a knife to harm the victim’s buddy who was present at the time to prevent him from intervening.
Days before the incident, one of the perpetrators sent the victim many threats via a mobile messaging app, threatening to attack her if she did not change her statement. This made the victim extremely apprehensive and fearful of encountering these people on the street.
Another victim was attacked for the exact same reason
During the inquiry, authorities discovered a second complaint from another victim who had been threatened to falsify his statement before being surprised on the street and assaulted by a man who was also connected to the Benidorm investigation into the other accused.
Once all of the information about the incident had been gathered, officers from the Alicante Northern District Police Station’s Judicial Police group conducted a series of checks, which resulted in the complete identification of the three perpetrators of the first attack, as well as the perpetrator of the second victim. All of them were men aged 20 to 22.
Officers eventually discovered three of the perpetrators, who were arrested for alleged bodily harm and obstruction of justice.
Agents are working to locate and apprehend the other suspect in the event.
Following police investigations, the inmates were hauled before the Alicante Court of First Instance for duty.

Marcin, the Manchester butcher who attempted to hide in Alicante

Alicante, the province with the biggest concentration of non-Spanish people (27%), is a red sign for international criminals looking to conceal their activities. One of them could have been a dismembered butcher who, if not apprehended in Manchester, would be roaming the streets of Alicante.
Marcin Majerkiewicz’s case startled the English city with its ferocity. The 42-year-old Pole was recently convicted guilty of murdering, dismembering, and dispersing his roommate’s body throughout Manchester last year.
Manchester Crown Court concluded that Majerkiewicz murdered Stuart Everett, 67, before dismembering his body into 27 pieces and depositing his remains in various areas throughout Manchester and Salford over the course of a week in an attempt to conceal his crime.
Majerkiewicz was unemployed with 60,000 euros in debt, an obsession with violent horror, and a tattoo of the slasher film character Jason Voorhees from Friday the 13th.
This gory incident almost brought Alicante into the picture, as it was discovered that the killer had been looking online for rental properties in the province to escape his troublesome life in the United Kingdom before being arrested.
Everett, whose parents were Polish, taught English to Polish immigrants, and Majerkiewicz was among his students. In 2017, he moved into his teacher’s home, where he stayed with another man until the day of the incident.
Human remains
The relationship soured in 2024. The cause is unknown: it may have been a fight, an argument, or the dissolution of a more intimate relationship between the two. What Manchester Police do know is that on April 4th, last year, the first human remains were discovered in a nature reserve, sparking the inquiry.
A check of security cameras revealed the Pole as the primary suspect, with photos showing him carrying an 18-kilogram sack of human remains.
Stuart’s family, who do not live in Manchester, did not report him missing. This is because Majerkiewicz used Stuart’s identity for around three weeks after the murder. He sent them WhatsApp messages, birthday cards, and gifts. Stuart’s family was misled into believing he was still alive while he attempted to improve his life on the Costa Blanca.
Rebecca Macaulay-Addison, a specialist Crown prosecutor from the Crown’s Complex Case Unit, stated that “Marcin Majerkiewicz murdered Stuart Everett before making a despicable and disturbing attempt to cover his tracks by disposing of Mr. Everett’s remains.”
“Majerkiewicz not only stole a loved one from those caring for Mr. Everett; his subsequent actions almost certainly exacerbated his pain and suffering,” he continued.
Detectives analysed security cameras and mobile phones to identify Majerkiewicz’s visits to secluded places in Salford and Manchester for the purpose of depositing human remains.
These excursions included remote regions, waterways, and rural parks. Detectives discovered Stuart’s remains or DNA at six spots after conducting extensive land and marine searches in 19 areas.
Detective Chief Superintendent Lewis Hughes, the investigation’s chief investigator, described it as a case of “exceptional complexity and magnitude, with detectives initially responding to partial human remains found deep within an isolated woodland.”
“From the beginning, we said we wouldn’t give up, and the victim and her family remained at the forefront of our minds and actions throughout the entire process,” according to the detective.
Majerkiewicz was arrested on April 25th, 2024. Following a two-week trial at Manchester Crown Court, he was found guilty of murder and is set to be sentenced to life in prison on March 28th.
