SON ADMITS TO KILLING HIS FAMILY

Son slaughters his family Continued from Front Ricardo Ortego, 23, who killed his mother, father and grandfather by stabbing them repeatedly, eventually confessed to the unthinkable crimes, after being questioned by Guardia Civil officers in the early hours of that morning.

He was adopted by the family as a seven-yearold in Venezuela, and, in later years, became a huge drug addict. He admitted being high at the time of the murders, and he was arrested, several hours after making an initial phone call to Local Police.

He told them he had only just found the tragic trio, dead at their family home, situated on a Guaza banana plantation, in the Arona municipality.

Police passed the case on to the Guardia Civil at around 5.20am on the Friday, and Ricardo was held in custody, because he was the only witness.

But while he was recounting his make-believe details of how he discovered the family, he suddenly broke down in front of Guardia officers and admitted the murders, actually providing them with a descriptive account.

Initial reports said he had fled the scene, but these were incorrect.

When officers entered the family home, they found grandfather Luciano, an 80-year-old pensioner, dead on the top floor of the house.

The murderer’s other two targets, his mother, Carmen, a local schoolteacher, and his father, Antonio, a 68-year-old farmer, were found in their ground-floor bedroom.

All three victims, who moved here from La Palma several years ago, along with Ricardo, showed obvious signs of being attacked

violently, with multiple stab wounds all over their bodies.

Local residents and neighbours considered the dead people as being “muchloved”, while Ricardo was said to be a normal young man, with a quiet nature.

He didn’t mix much with people, and neighbours only caught sight of him when he

was out walking his dogs.

Yet he is believed to have been searching the internet since last December, for ideas regarding, how he could kill the family.

In the end, he slaughtered all three with a bread knife, which had a 30cm blade.

Over the years, there had been family discussions about Ricardo’s drug-

taking, and, in the end, it seems, his huge consumption of narcotics, together with a heated altercation with his mum, pushed him over the edge.

But sources close to the case have commented on how calm Ricardo remained with the police, and how well he had collaborated with them, once he had

confessed to the crime. He also told them about the drugs he had consumed before killing the family.

Ricardo said he attacked them in the early hours because they would have been asleep. They would have had no idea who was behind the assault, he added, because he killed them in the dark, and never uttered a word throughout the violence.

However, that did not convince the police, and evidence showed that the grandfather and mother were both stabbed, fatally, in the neck. And the poor father suffered several cuts to the chest, as a result of what appeared to have been an angry attack.

As we went to press last night (Thursday), a Guardia Civil search for the murder weapon had proved fruitless, even though Ricardo told them he threw it away in a nearby bin.

There is no doubt that his savagery had been planned for some time. Ricardo had mental issues, while his drug addiction is thought to have deranged his mind, leading to the fantasies he had about killing his family. For all those problems, though, Ricardo was not thought to have been offered a medical referral.

Since admitting the horrific crime, he was in the custody of the Guardia Civil. But, on Tuesday night, he was transferred to the Tenerife II Penitentiary Centre, where he will remain until the court hearing, which is expected to take place within two years.

Meanwhile, Arona Town Hall declared a two-day mourning period, from midnight on Monday this week, until midnight on Wednesday, in respect of the murdered trio.

Ex-Catalan leader’s tremors fate in the balance Island

THE Spanish Government, after months of political turmoil in Catalonia, is hoping for a clear victory, at last, over the region’s separatists.

But MPs will hope it is in a courtroom this time, with the trial of top separatist leader Carles Puigdemont, who was arrested last Sunday in Germany, on a warrant issued in Madrid, after appearing at a Geneva conference.

But should Puigdemont be returned to Spain, a highly-publicised trial could backfire on the government by galvanising the separatist movement, as well as prolonging a dispute that threatens Spain’s cohesion.

Since 2012, governing politicians in Madrid and Barcelona have talked past each other rather than negotiating, allowing a dispute which, initially, focused on Catalan demands for better tax treatment, to spiral into a secessionist challenge.

Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy has insisted on treating the dispute as a law-enforcement problem, rather than a political one, mostly.

Spanish courts declared Catalonia’s independence referendum last year illegal, and the central government’s heavy-handed attempts to block the vote simply angered Catalonia habitants.

Last Friday, Pablo Llarena, a Spanish Supreme Court judge, ordered the arrest of five separatist politicians, and reactivated an international arrest war-

rant against Puigdemont, a former Catalonia President, and five other politicians, who had fled Spain to avoid prosecution.

The Spanish authorities have accused Sn. Puigdemont of rebellion and misuse of public funds, and a German regional court will decide within 60 days whether to send him back to face trial.

But if the court chooses to extradite him only for the corruption charge, that would create a political and legal bind for the Spanish Government, which would

be barred from trying him for rebellion, which is the main charge.

“Spain is creating a situation where Europe’s judges, rather than its politicians, are being asked to solve Catalonia,” said Sergi Pardos-Prado, a professor of politics at Oxford University.

“At a time when the European Union needs more legitimacy, and to reconnect with its citizens, how can this not make it seem like a distant and technocratic project?”

Gonzalo Boye, a lawyer who represents two of the politicians wanted by Spain, told the Spanish news media on Monday that he was confident a foreign judge would not allow his clients to stand trial for rebellion.

Since late October 2017, Puigdemont had been based in Belgium, where the European Union is headquartered. While Belgium never considered him a flight risk, a German judge has ordered that he should, provisionally, be kept in prison for that very reason.

Drug-friendly mob stop cops’ bid to nab driver THE arrest of a drugtrafficker was prevented on Sunday by more than 200 people, who swarmed police officers after their highspeed chase.

The suspect fled, leaving his vehicle, and, with it, 510kgs of hashish, in La Linea de la Concepcion, on Spain’s frontier with Gibraltar.

National Police officers attempted to hunt him down in the San Bernardo neighbourhood, but they were confronted by a wave of at least 200 residents. And a so-called hit-man drove into the side of a police car, turning it over.

The cops were forced to fire shots into the air to disperse the crowds, who attempted to assault the police, but the suspect escaped.

According to police notes, he left his SUV on Calle Ubrique de La Linea after a high-speed chase, in which he rammed several parked cars. And a so-called hitman failed to prevent a cop car from following the driver when his own vehicle turned over.

The Campo de Gibraltar has received a spate of new security measures recently, in a bid to crack down on an increase of drug crimes.

La Linea de la Concepcion, in particular, has been described as being over-run by drug gangs, with locals and police in the area demanding robust action.

It is believed that as many as 3,000 people in the town work for crime bosses, and the demands follow the

actions of 20 masked thugs, who stormed a hospital and rescued their alleged trafficker boss, who was under arrest there.

Last year alone, in La Linea, there was a 300% increase in cocaine seizures, as well as a 45% surge in hashish being found.

The Spanish Government has been forced to tackle the problem by drafting in extra police, or run the risk of the area being “taken over” by drug lords.

In fact, Spain’s police union has compared the area to Columbia, under Pablo Escobar.

Under the new plan, the additional officers, sent to back up the Guardia Civil’s Rapid Response Group recently, will remain, while Customs authorities will receive more cops to help “take apart the economic network” of drug traffickers.

Meanwhile, Spain will work with Morocco more closely to bring down the volume of hashish being smuggled into the Strait of Gibraltar.

A Royal Decree to ban the narco boats, favoured by traffickers, will also be ready in weeks, according to Interior Minister Juan

Ignacio Zoido. “They will be confiscated wherever they are,” he insisted, during a meeting with La Línea locals.

Policia Local, Guardia Civil and Customs Control will be granted “permanent reinforcements” in the most dangerous areas, like La Linea.

But Zoido would not state the exact number of new officers, because he did not want to “tip off” the gangs.

He added: “It is a complex situation. Security is vital and the message is very clear.

The rule of law is in force in all of Andalucia, to reinstate peaceful co-existence.”

The region will also receive 56m euros to help fund social programmes, such as employment initiatives, school canteens, educational infrastructure and three health centres.

It is hoped this will help deter would-be gang recruits from a career in crime, and Junta boss Susana Díaz is confident the new plan will control the problem.

“When individuals take on the state, the state always wins,” she warned. “And when all the administrations work as one, the people always win.”

MORE mini-tremors have been detected in the Canary Islands by the National Geographic Institute.

Six seismic movements were recorded last Tuesday in the Tenerife municipalities of Guia de Isora and Vilaflor. But the tremors were slight, and could not be felt by the surrounding population.

The smallest one registered 0.9 on the Richter scale, and the largest tremor 1.9. The depths registered were as shallow as three kilometres, and as deep as 21km.

Another six movements were also registered, out at sea, between Gran Canaria and Tenerife.

Kidnapped youth is tortured as well A YOUNG man was freed by a kidnapper after 15 hours, having been held in a home on the Costa del Sol and tortured.

Police launched a raid on the Mijas property after a concerned person flagged up a video, which had appeared on social media.

Footage showed a man, verbally and physically, abusing a younger person, who appeared to have a number of head injuries.

A brief investigation revealed the identity of the attacker, who had previous police records, which led to an official raid on his home.

As they arrived, they saw the culprit trying to escape through a window, wielding a knife. But when he saw the officers, he retreated and barricaded the doors.

A tense stand-off ensued, before officers convinced him to release the victim, who, medics said, had “serious head and body injuries.” They added: “He was in shock and disorientated.”

He was transferred to Marbella’s Comarcal Hospital for treatment, while police continued to speak with his assailant.

After 30 minutes of talks, he was persuaded to surrender, and a series of videos, captured on his mobile phone, showed that a second man had been involved in the abduction.

The men, one Spanish and the other Moroccan, have been charged with kidnapping, attempted murder and crimes against sexual freedom, said police.

San Miguel grants for updating your homes SAN Miguel de Abona Council has more than 42,000 euros set aside in the pot towards grants, for people in the borough, keen to make structural changes to their property.

Residents can now apply for the grants, which are not only available for structural work, but also for work on gas and water projects.

Most of the aid is funded by the Cabildo’s Island Housing Rehabilitation Programme.

But those eager to benefit must justify a series of requirements set by the Council, one of which is that the grant money will be used on San Miguel properties!

In addition, they must prove that they own no other properties, and that they do not have sufficient, economic recourses to do the work themselves.

Also included under the grant fee are the costs for labour and materials necessary for the redevelop-

ments.

“These grants are very important to the families in the community, because it allows them to undertake a series of reforms in their homes, creating better living

conditions,” said San Miguel Mayor Arturo E Gonzalez.

He also stresses that Abona Council’s contribution was 4,279 euros, in addition to the 38,517 euros given by the Tenerife government.

Raids on properties in Malaga and Cordoba saw investigators seize more than 100kgs of marijuana and hashish… plus a ringtailed lemur, which is an endangered primate, native to Madagascar.

It was, reportedly, living in the Benalmadena home of a

group of Dutch individuals, who bought the drugs from Spanish traffickers in Cordoba, and shipped them to their homeland.

A probe launched last October led detectives to the ringleaders, with three men, aged between 19-35, remanded in custody.

Vehicles and mobile phones were recovered during searches on the culprits’ homes, while the lemur has been passed to SEPRONA, the Guardia Civil’s wildlife crime unit.

NEWS IN BRIEF Heart attack victim, at 45

Website allows banned drug book to be online A MAN aged 45 was in a critical condition on Sunday after suffering a massive heart attack at an Adeje sports centre in Los Pueblos.

A call was made to the Canarian Emergency Services, reporting that a man had been found unconscious, “probably after fainting”, just before 10pm.

When the ambulance team arrived, it became clear to them, rapidly, that he had suffered a heart attack. They began CPR immediately, and he regained consciousness.

While stabilised, yet still critically ill, he was transferred to a local hospital, where he is undergoing treatment.

German swimmer still missing

THE search continued this week for a 53-year-old German holiday-maker, known as FH, who failed to return from his swim at El Charco del Palo, Lanzarote, last Wednesday evening.

Arrecife’s Local Police assisted the search-and-rescue team on Sunday, with the use of their drones, for aerial surveillance.

The drones began searching the area where FH went missing last Wednesday. The hunt has since spread to other areas along the coast, with the help of the Guardia Civil and firefighters.

Recreational sailors have also been made aware of the German’s disappearance.

Walker rescued after fall

A MAN aged 62 was rescued on Monday afternoon after falling on a specific walking path, connecting Benijo with Chamorga, in Tenerife capital Santa Cruz.

Fire-fighters, along with an ambulance, were dispatched to the area, and, upon arrival, medics ascertained that he had some bruising and minor injuries.

But because of where he fell, the fire team had to put him on a stretcher and carry him to where the ambulance was waiting.

He was then transferred to La Candelaria hospital for observation.

A NEW website enables people to read a banned book, about Spain’s underworld drug- smuggling, through the words of the classic Don Quixote.

A court in Madrid has banned Fariña, a non-fiction work about cocaine being shipped from Columbia to Spain.

Sales of the book were halted after Jose Alfredo Bea Gondar, former Mayor of Galicia’s O Grove, brought libel proceedings against the publishers.

But the Booksellers Guild of Madrid has since built a website, which includes a digital tool that searches

for, and locates, the 80,000 words that make up the forbidden manuscript from within the Don Quixote text.

According to the Guild, the site had more than 30,000 hits after being online for just two days.

Fernando Valverde, the Guild’s secretary, said those behind the site discovered that all the words in Fariña were featured, in some form, in Don Quixote.

Those who made the site just had to find a way of placing the words in the same order as the book, and displaying them on the website so that people were able to read it.

“It’s a metaphor for the fact that, in the digital era, you can seize a book, but you cannot gag words,” said Valverde.

Bea Gondar brought the case to the court because the book alleges that he was involved in the unloading and shipment of cocaine. It also alleges that he took part in negotiations between the Columbian Cali cartel and local smugglers.

But Bea Gondar, interviewed on a TV channel, stressed: “It’s all completely false.”

The former mayor was investigated and convicted of drug-smuggling. But his sentence was, subsequently, overturned by the Spanish Supreme Court after an appeal, which is stated in the latest edition of Fariña.

The launch of the website comes as Amnesty International recently claimed that free expression in Spain was being stifled by the country’s legal code.

Blazing nuisance!

Canaries for Warner Bros

FUERTEVENTURA has been chosen by Warner Bros for the location of an exciting new production.

Although the title of the film, the director, and leading actors are all a secret, Warner Bros says it is the company’s next big blockbuster.

Casting has already started on the island for Egyptianlooking men and woman, between the ages of 20-60, and the film company is looking for women with athletic physiques to play warriors.

Warner Bros needed a location with a desert-type landscape, hence Fuerteventura, and filming will start in the next few months.

More recently, many scenes from the upcoming Hans Solo Star Wars story were filmed on the island.

A MAN burned down his own house in Spain in the early hours of last Friday, while his wife was asleep and trapped inside.

But firefighters battled through flames to rescue

the 68-year-old woman from the central Spain property, in Guadalajara, Castilla-La Mancha. She was treated by paramedics at the scene, but did not need hospital treatment.

The fire was eventually put out, almost two hours after the alarm was first raised.

And, say the emergency

services, the man later committed suicide.

Earlier that week, a father set fire to the family home in Getafe, in the south of Madrid, with his two children inside, after drowning them in a bath, initially. He then ended his own life by throwing himself under a train.

Hunt for missing Mexican THE Guardia Civil

and National Police have begun searching for Hermes Hosarsiph, who was reported missing last Friday.

The 36-year-old Mexican, last seen at San Cristobal in La Laguna, wearing a black T-shirt and jeans, weighs about 9½ stone, and has brown eyes and the same colour hair.

National Police, along with the SOS Desaparecidos association, are asking for anyone who has seen him, or knows of his whereabouts, to call 642 650 775 or 649 952 957, or to e-mail sosdesaparecidos@ sosdesaparecidos.es.

Firemen’s heavyweight duty

TEN firefighters were called in to help transfer a man, weighing almost 50 stone (300kg kilos), to a hospital in Spain for an operation.

They had to use a special stretcher to move the morbidly-obese, 52-year-old, to Malaga’s Hospital Clinico, on the Costa del Sol. The transfer process was slow, given the man’s bulk… and the difficulty of squeezing him through doorways!

Star Wars’ Skywalker Luke fits the bill perfectly

Luke Skywalker the only one to open this space-age attraction ANYONE in Gibraltar on Tuesday evening might have thought they had been transported into a Star Wars film.

That’s because Luke Skywalker (actor Mark Hamill) was in town, accompanied by Boogie Storm, the “dancing stormtroopers”.

But everything became clear when he appeared in John Mackintosh Square.

It was revealed that Mark would, officially, be opening Gibraltar’s latest attraction, the awe-inspiring Skywalk, the following morning.

The Skywalk, a glassfloored walkway, 340m above sea level, is higher

than London’s Shard building and has amazing views over three countries and two continents.

It also projects 6.7m out from the Rock at its maximum point. The floor and protective balustrades comprise four layers of laminated glass, giving a total thickness of 4.2cm.

The Skywalk, built on the foundations of an existing base structure from World War II, is designed to withstand wind speeds of up to 150km/hr. It is held secure by 70m of rock anchors and 30,000kg of steel, and can bear the weight of 340 people, although just 50 are authorised to use it at any time.

Fabian Picardo, Gibraltar’s Chief Minister, who was at the inauguration, couldn’t wait to try the Skywalk with his wife, Justine.

“At the top of the Rock of Gibraltar, the Skywalk will serve as a stunning attraction for years to come,” he said.

“And it is only fitting that Mr Hamill, best known as Luke Skywalker himself, should take the first steps.”

Mark tweeted afterwards: “Why they would ever invite me to the opening of something called “#Skywalk” remains a mystery, but it was beyond thrilling to @visit_gibraltar!

“Stunningly beautiful, marvellous Macaques, and tru-

ly friendly folks, who all got selfies, whether they wanted them or not.”

Just before the inauguration, the Gibraltar authorities announced that entry to the Skywalk would be free of charge to everybody until 1st April. After that, it will be free for local residents, but there will be a charge for visitors.

The Skywalk will be linked, by walking trails, to other popular attractions in Gibraltar, such as the Windsor Suspension Bridge and the Apes’ Den. It is open daily from 7am to 10pm, and further information can be obtained from the website www.skywalk.gi

Crude bar-owner is arrested at last

THE man who owns the Cuadrilatero bar in the student area of Simpalabras, La Laguna, was arrested on Monday, following reports of his degrading manner towards female staff.

National Police have remanded him in custody and are gathering more information, as they receive reports galore about his unacceptable behaviour.

The man, military by profession, has been accused of sexual harassment, and, last week, it became common knowledge about what was to be expected from his female staff.

National Police began investigating the bar-owner, after a woman filed a complaint for an alleged case of sexual harassment.

And, because of the recent posts on social media, more women have come forward with their own descriptions of what had happened when they worked for him, even

during their interviews for the job.

Splashed right across the social media is a warning: “In this establishment, women have no rights.

They are subjected to being attacked, and they are sexually harassed and violated. Watch out!”

His activities actually came to light when one waitress reported that she was requested, repeatedly, by several customers, to accompany them to the bathroom.

Also, businessmen visited the bar, asking to “hire” a waitress. She also said that the owner asked her if she wouldn’t mind dancing on the bar.

One former waitress said he would invite certain female members of staff to drink all night, once their shift had finished, in the hope of taking advantage of them.

And if he discovered they had a partner, he would make their working life hell.

255-euro island sells for staggering 18m!

AN entire island, sold for the equivalent of 255 euros in 1932, has been bought by a Luxembourg family for 18m euros after being on the market for 18 months, with no takers.

The island, S’Espalmador, is in the Balearics, but the regional government said it “could not afford it”, with no support from the Spanish Government.

However, it is a protected nature reserve, and the new owners have been warned that they are prohibited from any type of construction under the law. It had been owned

by Norman and Rosy Cinnamond, who inherited it from their British grandfather, Bernard Cinnamond, who purchased the miniparadise, originally, for just 42,500 pesetas from the Ibizan Carlos Tur (around 14,000 euros in today’s money).

The three-kilometre-long island, which sits in the Ses Salines Natural Park, is spread over 137 hectares of land, and is just 800m wide.

All swimming excursions

to the island have been stopped, and the popular mud-baths for tourists have been banned, in a bid to protect the area.

Local authorities had tried to stop the sale, but the Balearic Government’s appeal for help to stump up the cash went unanswered by the national government.

Councillor Pilar Costa said: “The owners told us they had an offer, so we addressed the deputy prime minister of the central government to ask for support for the purchase.

“We were told verbally that they would consider it, but they never answered us, and, in the end, the owners accepted the buyers’ offer.”

The new Luxembourg owners are “well aware of the regulations of the island”, according to their representative, and there are already two small houses on the islet.

“I am convinced they have bought it knowing what there is,” said Silvia Tur, a deputy for the Gent per Formentera party. “I don’t think anybody is that naïve.”

Tenerife South airport promises cheap water

An abandoned dog and (inset, from left) Health Councillor Carlos Alcala, Triple A boss Jan Weiman and Mayor Angeles Muñoz

Fury, as council wants its abandoned animals killed FOLLOWING numerous complaints from airline passengers in Spain, management company AENA will force stores to reduce the prices of bottled water in all its airports.

According to reports, the airport manager will ensure that all vending machines and convenience stores

provide small bottles of water for a maximum price of one euro.

Shops will have to supply 33-centilitre bottles, whereas vending machines must stock half-litre bottles for the same price.

Currently, 19 stores are following the rules in these seven airports: Tenerife South, Madrid-Barajas, Palma de Mallorca, Bilbao, Santiago, Vigo and GironaCosta Brava. And another 16 are in the process of changing their prices.

A COUNCIL decision to allow a private company to slaughter abandoned animals has sparked a public outcry.

It follows Marbella City Hall’s invitation to bidders for a contract to manage abandoned animals. This includes the option to put down those not claimed or adopted, after 10 days, if they have not been identified.

The move sent social media into meltdown, after animal

lovers shared the document in their hundreds.

Local animal shelter Triple A, which takes in dogs, cats, ferrets, and Vietnamese potbellied pigs, condemned the proposal immediately, publishing a statement on its Facebook page, demanding the council to “reconsider whether to maintain the tender offer under the stated conditions, if certain aspects cannot be improved”.

Opposition political groups also criticised the scheme, leading conservative Popular Party Mayor Angeles

Muñoz pledging to have the document withdrawn, after she appeared alongside Triple A chief Jan Weima for a photoshoot.

Two days later, however, it remained online, with companies encouraged to submit their offers.

An official from left-wing coalition Izquierda Unida claimed that the public appearance with Triple A was nothing more than “a smokescreen”, with which the council “tried to clean up its image”, as the social media backlash continued.

No Open-Arms welcome for the ship’s migrants

Spain rejects nearly 70% of requests by asylum-seekers SOME two-thirds of all asylum applications submitted to Spanish authorities in 2017 were rejected, according to a refugee NGO. It was a record year in terms of requests, with Spain receiving around 31,120 applications.

That was double the previous year’s number, say the Spanish Commission of Refugee Aid (CEAR) and European Union data.

Requests for asylum to the country made up around 4% of the EU total.

Applications to Germany, Italy and France were higher at 222,560, 128,850 and 98,635, respectively.

Almost one-third of all applications, submitted to

ITALIAN authorities in Catania, Sicily, last week ordered the detention of the Spain’s Open Arms ship for promoting “illegal immigration and criminal association”, according to sources from the not-for-profit organisation.

The order came after the vessel, run by the Catalan’s Proactiva Open Arms group, rescued 218 migrants, who were 70 miles off the coast of Libya.

The ship, the only Spanish NGO that rescues migrants in the Mediterranean, was confiscated as a preventive measure in the port of Pozzallo. Catania’s public prosecutor accused the Open Arms group of seeking to “bring migrants to Italy”, and argued: “It violates the law and international agreements by not handing over the migrants to Libyan authorities.”

Italian police appeared on the ship and demanded documentation from the captain, Marc Reig, and the head of the NGO’s mission, Anabel Montes.

Both were “accompanied” that night to an Italian police station, according to a crew member from Open Arms.

Oscar Camps, who founded Proactiva Open Arms, confirmed that the ship was being held “under preventive

detention” in the Sicilian port. According to online newspaper Europa Press, Camps told Catalonia Ràdio that he was surprised the POA was labelled a criminal group, saying that Italian authorities had presented them with documentation for signature, but they had refused because the text was in Italian. “We decided not to sign the document until it was translated,” he said.

In a series of Twitter messages, Camps explained that the ship had been detained on charges of “criminal association, and encouraging illegal immigration by disobeying Libyans by not handing over women and children”.

Proactive Open Arms and journalists, who took part in the voyage, accused the Libyan coastguards of making threats and stopping the majority of the immigrants from reaching the Spanish vessel.

But Camps defended the group’s actions, stating that protecting human life should be the top priority of any body, civilian or military.

Returning the migrants to the Libyan coastguards, he said, would be the “equivalent of a summary deportation,” which contravenes the UN Convention on the Status of Refugees.

But in a press release, seen

by Spanish news agency EFE, the Libyan maritime authority accused the NGO, and anyone who res-

cues migrants in Libya, of interfering in their operations and violating their maritime borders, even though the operation took place 25 miles outside their jurisdiction.

The Open Arms ship was able to continue sailing, eventually, with 218 migrants on board, but it could not land them until last Saturday, because Libyan authorities refused to give them access to a port in which to dock.

Human-rights groups have accused Libyan coastguard chiefs of working with human-traffickers, claiming former smugglers are even leading the coastguard patrols.

Meanwhile, migrants arriving in Europe say that Libyan authorities send the people they rescue to detention centres and prisons in poor conditions, where abuse is committed, commonly.

In the last two years, the beaches between Libyan capital Tripoli and the Tunisian border have become the main hot-spot for human-trafficking mafias, despite the presence of European patrols.

According to data from the UN-associated International Organisation of Migration, more than 171,635 irregular migrants arrived in Europe in 2017, while 3,116 died at sea.

In the first month of 2018 alone, more than 2,900 have reached European shores, while 318 have died in the attempt.

Drunken company chief spat booze at cabin crew

A DRUNKEN British businesswoman, who spat on a flight attendant after being refused alcohol during a flight from Costa del Sol, has been fined.

Beverley Chapman must pay £800 (915 euros) after pleading guilty to behaving in a threatening, abusive, insulting or disorderly manner on the British Airways flight.

Ms Chapman, director of a multi-national building company, told Crawley Magistrates Court that she was suffering from stress after splitting from her exgirlfriend, who later sued for a share of their 1.5m-euro home.

The 45-year-old, from Chingford, in north-east London, tried to trip up a cabin-crew member after spitting her drink over the stewardess, when she was refused more alcohol for being too drunk, Crawley Magistrates Court heard.

She had been visiting her mother in Malaga,

and, immediately, began to cause trouble as the flight took off, pressing the button repeatedly to call cabin crew, who were unable to leave their seats.

Prosecutor Melanie Wotton said: “They already thought she was intoxicated when she boarded, and she continued ringing the bell and demanding more alcohol. This was refused because she was already so intoxicated.

“Ms Chapman was seated by the aisle, and, as cabin crew went up and down, she put her leg out to try to trip them up.”

The Prosecutor added: “The pilot left the cockpit to speak to Ms Chapman, and called ahead to Gatwick Airport to report that they needed assistance.”

Lawyer Martin O’Rourke, defending, said: “She accepts her behaviour was unacceptable, and wishes to apologise to the crew members and the court.”

Her behaviour was described as “really bad”, by Magistrate David Whitehead.

Ten-year-old

corpse BUILDERS have found the body of a man, believed to have died more than a decade ago, “sandwiched” between two walls of a house in Valencia.

The corpse was found by workers, who were carrying out renovations at the house, which has recently changed hands.

The workmen, who found the clothed skeleton, informed the new homeowners, who contacted police about the macabre find.

National Police officers are now investigating the discovery of the remains, which were taken to Valencia’s Institute of Legal Medicine, to try to determine the age and cause of death.

Druggie loses race but gains his freedom

A VILLAIN, wellknown to the police, was arrested early last Saturday during a routine patrol by two officers in Gran Canaria capital Las Palmas.

They saw the 45-year-old man acting suspiciously as he stepped out of a taxi, and, after spotting them, he ran off.

But the cops decided to give chase, and proved too fleet of foot for the runaway. Once they caught up with him, they identified him and then carried out a search.

They discovered that he was wearing two pairs of trousers, and, inside the pockets, the cops found 1.6gms of cocaine, in five sealed bags, and then another three bags, holding 11.1gms of crack cocaine.

Along with the drugs, the officers also discovered a sheet of paper with various names and numbers, hidden inside the pockets.

When the police report was issued, the man went before a judge, who ordered his release, with charges.

Jerusalem comes to Adeje

IF you do nothing else this Easter, take time to visit Adeje this morning (Friday,) to witness the Adeje Passion Play, on the town’s main street.

It starts at midday at the bottom of the Calle Grande, with the staging of “The Last Supper”. The performance will take you through the last days of Jesus Christ, his suffering, betrayal and crucifixion, in a street theatre now recognised nationally as the cultural reference point at this time of year.

This street theatre, performed by local amateur actors and members of the public, turns the Calle Grande into Jerusalem at the time of Jesus Christ, with a market place, and complete with chariots, Roman soldiers and all those involved in the days of that era, which are still so important in the Christian calendar.

Mary Magdalene, Our Lady, the Apostles and Pontius Pilate, are all present, and, of course, Jesus Christ himself, played by people from the borough.

More than 300 members of the public have also been taking part in rehearsals over recent weeks, to be

involved in this emotive drama.

The performance has grown in standing over the years, and, today, it is very much an essential part of Adeje Easter Week. But it has also become part of the borough’s tourism offer.

To some, it might seem odd to use a religious event to promote tourism. But, here in Spain, religion is an integral part of the local culture, especially

at this time of year.

And with the changing face of tourism, for many visitors encouraged to seek out the “real” Tenerife… the “real” Adeje, this is one of the must-see events.

There is so much more to this island than sun, sea and sand. We have incredible landscapes, and Spain’s tallest mountain, Teide, which is also part of a volcanic range that formed these islands.

We also have an aboriginal history, Guanche kings, as well as mummified bodies, which were left in caves.

And, combining that with the religion introduced by the conquistadores, Tenerife really does have a wealth of cultural tradition, history, patrimony and religion.

In addition, councils such as Adeje work to make it attractive and easy for both residents of all nationalities, and visitors, to participate in that local culture.

If you have planned to go to Adeje today, leave in time to find parking, wear comfortable shoes, and make sure you have sun protection, especially if you have children with you.

Do follow the recommendations of the local security personnel, in place to ensure that everyone has a safe, enjoyable time.

Be part of Easter Week in Adeje!

Why cockroaches are so difficult to kill off

THEY are dreaded by everyone, especially here in Tenerife, and they thrive in the darkest, filthiest corners of all.

Now, scientists have revealed why they are so hard to kill!

Researchers, by studying their DNA, have identified specific genes, which enable them to do everything, from eating toxic food to regrowing lost limbs.

Their genetic make-up means they are highly-resistant to disease, and capable of regrowing limbs.

The cockroach, an all-devouring scavenger, is one of the largest insect species living so close to humans.

Shui Zhan, employed at Shanghai’s Institute of Plant Physiology and Ecology, has worked out the genes that make this creature so difficult to destroy.

In total, the species has 20,000 genes, which is the same number as a human, and the cockroaches are able to smell any food, especially if it is fermenting.

Other genes control its internal detoxification system, which means the cockroach doesn’t get ill if it eats toxic food.

More genes help it combat infections, making it resilient to

living in filthy conditions. Yet scientists are convinced that identifying the creature’s genes means they can control them better in the future.

They have already deciphered the entire DNA of an American cockroach, and, apart from a nuclear Armageddon, it can survive almost anything.

Researchers also found that the American cockroach was, genetically, closely-related to two species of termite.

Last year, researchers revealed that female cockroaches were so resilient that they didn’t need a male partner.

Females can reproduce for years, and have several generations of allfemale young, without needing a single male.

Japanese scientists used 15 virgin, female roaches to produce an allfemale colony, which stuck together for more than three years.

Unlike male roaches, who fight if housed together, females huddle together and harmonise their reproductive cycles, producing more young than they would if they were alone.

Experts believe this behaviour is a primitive example of female cooperation. And they maintain it is far better to spray cockroaches than stamp on them, because the females are usually laden with eggs.

Two hurt in kitchen fire TWO people were injured while escaping from the flames of a fire, which broke out at around 1.45am on Monday, in an Adeje apartment block.

A call was made to the emergency services, who dispatched firefighters, together with an ambulance team, to the Calle Venecia scene.

Upon arrival, the fire-fighters

began to extinguish the blaze, which was mainly in the kitchen of an apartment.

One of the two people affected was a 54-year-old British woman, who suffered moderate burns to her arms, and also smoke inhalation.

The other person involved, a man aged 43, also suffered from the smoke.

Both were taken to a local hospital for treatment, while the police cordoned off the area for safety reasons.

Airline association bids to ease strike problems EUROPE’S largest airline association believes more than 800 flights were cancelled, and that the travel plans of 100,000 passengers were affected severely, when French air-traffic controllers staged another strike last Thursday.

Airlines for Europe (A4E) insists that since 2010, the EU’s Air Traffic Control strikes have cost the economy 12 billion euros, with passengers having to put up with almost an entire year of ATC strikes since 2005.

It also claims that, of the total 357 strikes, the French ATC was responsible for 249, which have led to 230,660 cancellations. Its nearest “rival” is Greece, with 44.

And in that period, Spanish air-traffic controllers have called just six strikes.

The A4E trade association includes such members as easyJet, IAG, Jet2.com,

Ryanair, Air France-KLM, Lufthansa and Norwegian.

It is now urging passengers, who don’t want their travel and holiday plans ruined by strike action, to sign up to their “Keep Europe’s Skies Open” online petition.

It calls on the European Commission, the European Parliament and Member

States to protect Europe from repeated extortion and disruption by airtrafffic-control unions.

The association believes the strikes have a huge impact on the European economy, tourism and competitiveness, and that Europe’s reputation is at stake.

A spokesperson adds: “Although we fully respect the right to industrial action, demands of increasinglymobile European citizens and businesses cannot be taken hostage in such a disproportionate manner.”

The A4E association has pressed the EU and national governments to

take action, finally, and call on air navigation service providers and their employees, to participate in arbitration as soon as possible, before threatening industrial action.

It urges them to carry out the following: *Protect flights over-flying the country affected by industrial action, while ensuring that this does not come at the expense of flights to and from the country affected *Implement co-operation mechanisms to explore means to minimise the impact of ATC service disruption (allowing other European air-traffic controllers to manage flights over airspace affected by strike action) *Provide a 21-day advance notification of strike action *Provide a 72-hour advance notification of participation in industrial action, at individual employee level, to improve the predictability of the disruption level To sign the “Keep Europe’s Skies Open” petition, go to: www.keepeuropesskies open.com

Elderly folk baffled by hugger-muggers POLICE have arrested eight people, alleged to be members of a gang who targeted the elderly, along the Costa Blanca.

The group’s method would often involve women approaching elderly men, and offering to perform sexual acts with them.

Then, while hugging or kissing the victim, they would steal any jewellery or watches they were wearing.

If the victims realised what was happening, the women turned violent, and removed

the jewellery, forcibly, before fleeing to a getaway vehicle.

Three victims had to be transferred to a hospital, after succumbing to broken bones during the scuffles.

Five men and three women, all aged between 18-40, who have been held, are believed to have been involved in as many as 44 cases of theft, and three violent robberies, across the Alicante province.

In total, they are thought to have stolen items worth a total of 500,000 euros, which they sold on.

DOZENS of women, coerced into humantrafficking and prostitution by voodoo threats, were kept in squalid conditions in cave houses when they arrived in Spain.

But the Guardia Civil, in collaboration with the UK’s National Crime Agency (NCA) and the authorities in Nigeria, where the women were recruited, have busted a crime gang there, in one of the largest European operations against humantrafficking in Europe.

Voodoo threats helped entice Nigerian women Police officers carried out 41 house searches in the Spanish areas of Alicante, Almeria, Barcelona, Cantabria, Madrid, Malaga, Murcia, Navarra, Sevilla, Toledo and Vizcaya, and in Manchester.

And bank accounts used by the gang to launder more than 300,000 euros from the illicit activities have been blocked.

A kitchen-knife threat by thief

NATIONAL Police arrested a 39-year-old Spaniard, who used a kitchen knife to carry out an armed robbery at a multi-storey shopping centre in San Cristobel, La Laguna.

The incident happened in the afternoon, after the man had just robbed a shop inside the shopping centre, threatening staff with a knife, before disappearing.

The shop assistants, along with other witnesses, were able to provide a good description of the thief to the police, who began an immediate search of the shopping centre. They eventually found him, hiding in a discreet area of the building.

He was arrested, and a body-search by cops revealed the knife he had used to threaten the assistants, as well as the 450 euros he had stolen, which was eventually returned to the shop.

The man, who had no previous convictions, was arrested and is in custody, awaiting a court hearing.

when one of the underage victims filed a complaint with the police.

She reported being coerced into trafficking by voodoo threats in Nigeria.

She was among the victims transferred from Nigeria to Europe, via Libya and Italy. Then, once in Spain, the women were kept in disgusting conditions in

Almerian cave houses, where they were exploited as prostitutes to pay off the so-called 30,000-euro debt, they were each said to have owed the criminals.

The highly-active, Nigerian network was linked to the EIYE brotherhood, and one of the gang’s most important members was a well-known DJ in Nigeria.

He was arrested when returning from his country, where he was recording a music video. His main role was to transfer the victims to Spain, and organise sexual exploitation in several of the country’s provinces.

In all, the operation resulted in 89 arrests, while 39 victims were safeguarded.

GBP/EUR hits nine-month high

By Carol schleisman at currencies direct

THE pound has been on a bullish run in recent days, thanks to mounting bets that the Bank of England (BoE) will vote to raise interest rates at its May meeting.

However, while BoE policymakers took a generallyhawkish tone at their March policy meeting, GBP exchange rates soon hit resistance and lost momentum, once again. As a result, after hitting its highest level since June, the GBP/EUR exchange rate returned to a rather-softer footing.

Markets reacted positively to a breakthrough in Brexit talks, as the EU and UK published a joint draft treaty, highlighting agreement on a number of key issues. Although there

was no sign of progress, with regards to the Irish border, this was not enough to stop the Pound surging higher, in the wake of the announcement.

This encouraged hopes that the two sides could agree a deal, ahead of the UK’s departure date of March 2019, limiting the odds of a cliff-edge exit.

With just over a year left before the Brexit deadline, concerns remain over the possibility of another breakdown in negotiations.

A combination of weaker, UK inflation and higherwage growth helped to

improve the case for the BoE to raise interest rates again, in the near future.

As two policymakers voted in favour of an immediate, interest-rate hike at the BoE policy meeting, the chances of a May move appeared to increase further. This has limited the weakness of the pound, even though profit taking, and lingering, political worries, have kept demand somewhat in check.

Demand for the euro could pick up significantly, in the near term, if the latest, German, consumer-price-index data shows an improve-

An extra 14-euro EU cost for Brits BRITONS are likely to be charged 14 euros for an online permit to travel to any country within the European Union, and the UK will introduce a similar fee for visitors from Europe as part of new security measures.

Under current proposals, the permits will be valid for between three to five years, according to aviation consultant Eddie Redfern.

He told last week’s ABTA Brexit briefing that the proposed Electronic European Travel Information and Authorisation System (ETIAS) was led by security issues, and not Brexit.

“The UK was already looking at introducing something like this,” said Redfern. “It was going to be introduced, regardless of Brexit.”

The EU plans to introduce the permits for all European

countries outside the Schengen region, not just the UK, according to Redfern, who is a fellow of the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport, specialising in regulatory affairs.

Travellers must apply for the ETIAS online, in much the same way as they apply for an ESTA, to travel to the US. At 14 dollars, the ESTA is slightly cheaper, but is valid for just two years.

Applicants will have to answer a series of questions, designed to identify illegal immigrants, as well as those who pose a security threat, or a public health risk.

Travellers will have to provide proof of ID, their address, contact and employment details, or the name of their college, and details of their health, including whether they are suffering from any infectious diseases.

They will also have to supply details of serious convictions, including racism and xenophobia, and explain reasons for any travel to war zones, or areas of conflict.

In addition, they will have to give an address for the first night of their trip.

The proposals for the ETIAS have not yet been finalised.

ment.

Higher inflationary pressure would give the European Central Bank (ECB) additional incentive to consider returning to a monetary-tightening bias, in the coming months. This may weigh heavily on the GBP/EUR exchange rate, especially if March’s German unemployment rate falls to a fresh, multi-year low, as forecast. Any weakness in the latest raft of UK PMIs may diminish the appeal of the pound, meanwhile, as the economy remains under pressure, thanks to the uncertainty of Brexit.

The US dollar, meanwhile, has seen some sharp moves in response to the Trump administration’s more-protectionist policy approach. With markets unsettled by the prospect of a trade war between the US and China, the GBP/ USD exchange rate found additional support.

Even if US data continues to print positively in the coming weeks, the US dollar may struggle to find particular support. Unless the US and China back away from a full-blown trade war, confidence in the future of the US economy could sour rather sharply, with growth having already shown signs of softening.

Spain following in Britain’s footsteps SPAIN has pledged to expel two Russian diplomats, in response to the Salisbury nerveagent attack in England.

The Spanish Government will join more than 20 countries, which have stood together with the UK, expelling more than 100 diplomats altogether.

A statement from its Foreign Ministry reads: “From the beginning, the government of Spain has considered that the attack perpetrated in Salisbury, through the use of a neurotoxic agent, is a fact of extreme gravity that represents a serious threat to our collective security and international law.”

Russia continues to deny its involvement in the ghastly attack on former Russian double agent Sergei Skripal and his daughter, Yulia. But it is believed that a further 130 people could have been exposed to the nerve agent.

British Prime Minister Theresa May said the hospitalised pair were still in a coma, and were unlikely to recover. But she and Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson have welcomed the backing of the UK’s European Union allies.

“I have found great solidarity from our friends and partners in the EU, North America, NATO and beyond, over the last three weeks, as we have confronted the aftermath of the Salisbury incident,” said Mrs May.

Eighteen months later, Dr Arthur Calgary, a mysterious scientist, walks onto the velvety lawns of Sunny Point claiming to have just returned from an expedition to the Arctic. Even more extraordinary is his claim to hold the alibi that can prove Jack’s innocence. But Jack died in prison before the case could come to trial, and the Argyll family is reluctant to dig up the secrets of the past.

Rachel’s widower Leo is about to remarry his secretary Gwenda and none of Rachel’s other adopted children Mary, Mickey, Tina or Hester, nor longstanding housekeeper Kirsten, is willing to reopen that most horrendous chapter of their lives. However, the shattering implications of Calgary’s story are too big to avoid; if he is telling the truth then the wrong person was arrested for Rachel’s murder. And if Jack is innocent, then it must have been somebody else at Sunny Point. Somebody still out there…

Lenny’s life would be very different without the influence of the Commonwealth. Because of it, his parents were able to move to Dudley from the Jamaica in the 1950s, putting Lenny on the path to fame and fortune in the UK. He travels back to Jamaica to investigate his own beginnings and find out why, sixty years ago, his mother uprooted the family to travel thousands of miles to the rainy Midlands. He’ll meet his older brother Seymour for a tour of the remote and rural plot that he would have called home if the Henrys had remained on the island.

Monday 2nd April, BBC2, 21.00

Filmed in homage to his original TV series, this dramatisation of the life and career of the legendary comedian follows Dave Allen from childhood and into the comedian’s forty-year career.

From performing alongside his brother as a Butlin’s Redcoat to becoming one of the UK and Ireland’s comedy greats. All with just a whiskey, a cigarette and nine-and-a-half fingers.

This film explores how Dave’s comedy genius was shaped by the tragic loss of his father, his brother, and his finger. How he survived decades of the Roman Catholic Church’s wrath, death threats from the IRA and a ban by Irish and Australian TV, only to have his television career end in controversy when he used the f-word in an innocuous joke.

The film is structured as an affectionate homage to Dave’s original television format. From his famous bar stool, the comic reflects on his formative years and showbiz career. Flashbacks, some visualised as comedy sketches, inter-cut his bar stool repartee bringing to life significant moments to life.

The film is a celebration of both Dave Allen’s work and the influence the provocative godfather of modern stand-up still has on comedy today.

The award-winning, critically acclaimed comedy Episodes returns for a much-anticipated fifth and final season. This hilarious series comes from visionary creators David Crane (Friends) and Jeffrey Klarik (Mad About You).

In Episodes, Matt LeBlanc (Top Gear) plays an outrageous version of himself, a dazzling, multifaceted role for which he won a Golden Globe and received four Emmy nominations for Outstanding Actor in a Comedy.

Stephen Mangan (Green Wing) and Tamsin Greig (Friday Night Dinner), two of the crown jewels of British comedy, are Sean and Beverly Lincoln, an English couple who are brought to the US to remake their hit UK sitcom for American audiences, only to see it corrupted beyond all recognition.

Members of Team Olly, Team JHud, Team Will and Team Tom sing to stay in the competition and potentially be one step closer to winning a recording contract with Polydor Records.

Only four acts can go through to the Final and for the first time this series, the power lies with the viewers at home, as the public vote to save their favourite singers.

Painting The Holy Land with Lachlan Goudie cho i c e BBC1, 09.00

In a vibrant Easter two-part special to mark the holiest days of the Christian calendar, artist Lachlan Goudie packs his easel to undertake a highly personal trip of a lifetime.

From an early age, Lachlan was gripped by a vivid sense of the Holy Land gleaned from the images in his illustrated children’s Bible. As he grew up, those images were supplanted by others… the great masterpieces of Leonardo and Raphael. But above all, Lachlan absorbed the Bible story through the many powerful paintings of the crucifixion by his own father, the artist Alexander Goudie.

All these artists had one thing in common: they had never been to the Holy Land. It only existed for them, and for Lachlan himself, in the imagination. Lachlan has always wondered what it might be like to visit and paint the actual sites where the Bible stories took place. In this two part series, screening on Good Friday and Easter Sunday, Lachlan will explore the Holy Land for himself, sketching and painting the people and landscapes he sees there - looking afresh at its sacred sites and bustling streets, through the eyes of an artist.

Exploring and sketching the key sites of Christianity that marked both the birth of Jesus, and his death, Lachlan enters a world he has only ever experienced on a Christmas card or a gallery wall. How will the experience of working and travelling in the Holy Land make him think about his own relationship with the Bible story?

In Episode Two, to screen on Easter Monday, Lachlan traces the role of Mary through the Biblical story, with a very personal question: why is the Mother almost a by-stander in the gospels, but so well-represented in art? In the places Mary knew, Lachlan looks at her role in the story of the Resurrection and the last event of Easter, the Pentecost. In Nazareth and Bethlehem Lachlan revisits the Immaculate Conception and the birth of Christ. It’s a story he knows well, as told to him many times by his Catholic mother. Taking his easel with him, Lachlan will visit the places in the Holy Land most associated with Mary including the Tomb of the Virgin Mary and the Church of the Nativity.

Marcella heads to Nigel Stafford’s house to question him. As she walks around the house she finds a small grave before heading inside the unlocked door. Inside she’s confronted by Nigel, holding a knife.

Marcella manages to persuade Nigel to put the knife down before pressuring him into revealing that the grave belonged to his dog and the killer has taken his girlfriend. Marcella scrolls through a web chat showing a picture of Rosio, tied and bound. Mark comes to the house as the team prepare to contact the killer through Nigel’s computer. When he arrives, he hands Marcella a USB stick containing dirt on Becky. He asks Marcella if they’re okay now but she’s dismissive.

A shocking discovery is made at the police station which leads the team to believe that the killer is targeting the children through the KidsCall charity. Rav demands a list of everyone who works of everyone who works there as we cut to Jojo working in the call centre.

Marcella pieces together the evidence and realises the killer’s MO as Edward walks into the killer’s clutches.

Hospital gains inside access to one of the country’s biggest and busiest Trusts, filmed at Nottingham University Hospitals during the worst winter for the NHS on record. In episode two, head and neck surgeon David Grant returns from annual leave to find his surgical list has snowballed.

David is one of only two consultant surgeons here, which is under severe strain, due to a national shortage of head and neck surgeons. To make matters worse David is thinking of leaving. He says: “The job I want to do, I can’t do in the NHS, because of the pressure we’re under all the time. There’s just nowhere to take a breath”.

Freda, a 75-year-old retired teacher, is one of David’s patients. She has a lump in her thyroid gland that David fears might be cancer and he’s keen to operate – but a huge backlog in his surgical list delays Freda’s operation by several weeks.

My Dad, The Peace Deal And Me BBC1, 21.00

Patrick Kielty was born in Northern Ireland during the Troubles, and was only sixteen when his dad was murdered by paramilitary gunmen.

Despite his loss, just 18 months later Patrick was taking to the stand-up stage in Belfast, forging a comedy career by telling jokes about life in what felt like a war-zone. Year after year, the sectarian killings continued.

Then in 1998, along with the majority of the Northern Irish population, Patrick voted in favour of The Good Friday Agreement. It meant those convicted over his dad’s murder would be released from prison, but the Agreement brought a promise of peace after 30 years of conflict with the potential to build a new society based on reconciliation. Now, on the 20th anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement, Patrick wants to find out if the historic peace deal has delivered on its pledge to create a new Northern Ireland, free of the hatred that took Jack Kielty’s life. Patrick returns to his home village of Dundrum, where his dad was killed, and then travels around Northern Ireland meeting other people whose lives were shattered by the Troubles.

In this three-part series Williams-Thomas, the awardwinning former police detective who unmasked Jimmy Savile as the UK’s most notorious paedophile, digs into several infamous missing women and unsolved murder cases, uncovering new evidence that links them to two of Britain’s most notorious killers - Peter Tobin and Angus Sinclair.

He opens his investigation by exploring the case of Louise Kay, an 18-yearold who disappeared from Eastbourne, East Sussex, in 1988 along with her distinctive Ford Fiesta, after her family asks for his help.

The story takes a sinister turn as he uncovers the cases of other women who vanished in similar circumstances and the true scale of the number of missing women and unsolved murder cases across the country emerges.

He also investigates the unsolved murders of Anna Kenny, Agnes Cooney and Hilda McAuley - who were all abducted and killed with four months of each other in Glasgow in 1977.

Easter dangers!

CELEBRATING Easter is always fun.

Whether you've got a small family with just a few Easter baskets, or you're setting up a huge, Easter-egg hunt, there are certain considerations to take into account when making sure your cats are kept safe.

Some items around Easter time can pose a threat, so it's important to know what they are, so we can keep our cats safe and healthy.

Chocolate Chocolate and sweets should be kept away from cats, at all times of the year. While some sweets might just cause an upset stomach, chocolate is toxic to cats and can cause severe illness, and even death, if ingested. If your cat has got into any chocolates, be sure to seek veterinary attention right away.

Lilies Lilies are one of the most toxic plants to cats, but they're probably the most common Easter

flower. If cats ingest the plant, flowers or even the pollen, they could face serious consequences.

True lilies, like the Easter lily, cause acute renal failure in cats.

Once the kidneys are damaged, cats will need special care throughout their lives, and may not even survive the illness.

The best thing to do is to keep lilies out of the house.

It's Easter, and here is an egg-cellent idea!

Please sponsor one of our long-term foster cats, for as little as three euros a month!

You can choose a cat to

support, and you'll be e-mailed a personalised “pawtificate” of sponsorship, followed by updates about how he or she is getting on.

You can pay by regular standing order, a oneoff payment into our bank, or by Paypal.

For further details, go to http://www. cats-welfare-tenerife. com/sponsor-faq/ or contact us by e-mail at sponsor@cats-welfaretenerife.com La Caixa Oficina 0222, Bahia Del Duque, Tenerife Within Tenerife Account number: 2100 7072 91 2200076671

Swallows’s cancer funds are soaring THE Swallows club, run by Carole and Mike Hart at the Apolo Centre, Los Cristianos, has now closed, following its busy winter season.

But what a legacy their members have left, in the form of two huge donations to their favourite charities.

In all, the club’s various sections raised 9,154 euros, with 4,000 euros presented to the Cancer Research Foundation at Candelaria, and 5,000 euros to Carol Salisbury’s Cancer Bus charity,

which caters for cancer suffers here in the south, who are unable to get to Candelaria under their own steam.

The money left over

will start next Winter’s charity fund. Carole Hart, modestly, played down the part she and Linda Powell performed in raising a magnificent 1,160 euros for the main fund with a sponsored, tandem-paragliding flight, from a great height.

They should have landed on the beach at La Caleta, but their respective pilots were unable to oblige, so they both missed the reception they would have received by their fellow Swallows.

Centro Guaidyl project is given the green light CHILDREN’S charity Helping Hands has already met its 8,000euro target to fund this year’s project for Centro Guaidyl’s under-privileged children in Granadilla.

It means that every child at the centre will participate in the educational activity ROBOTICA, for free, as well as taking part in various sports. And all their summer activities and excursions will also be funded throughout their 11 weeks’ holiday. Liz Montague, who co-founded Helping Hands, presented Centro Guaidyl Director Paco Rodriguez with an 8,000euro cheque.

“He was absolutely delighted, and the children can now look forward to their newfound “activities,” she said. They will also enjoy a memorable summer, filled with fun excursions

around the island.”

She added: “We will continue to work hard to support the other projects we have in place this year, so a big thank-you to everyone for your continued support.”

With Liberty Seguros, take more, get more WHETHER you are an existing or new customer of Liberty Seguros, now is the time to take out insurance cover on your car, home or life.

You may ask: why?

Well, until 25th June 2018, existing customers who take out a new policy, on one or all of these types of covers, can get 60-euro cashback on each one. That means, for example, if you contract a new car policy, plus a home policy and a life policy, you can get 180 euros on all three.

Alternatively, if you take just one, you’ll get 60-euro cashback, or two, 120 euros, and so on.

New clients will also benefit. They will get 30-euro cashback on

the first policy they take out, and, for all subsequent new policies, 60 euros each.

Again, as an example, the first is a car policy providing 30euro cashback, and, if a home and life policy is contracted, too,

that’s another 120 euros, making a possible cashback total of 150 euros.

There is no limit on cashback, whether you’re an existing or new customer!

What better time could there be to switch

to Liberty for even greater savings and tip-top covers, for all types of insurances?

Over 175,000 expat clients have already chosen Liberty as their insurance provider, and this figure grows almost every day, because of the excellent service and quality of cover clients get.

The main condition is that premiums are paid by direct debit, and all cashback is credited to that same bank account.

For convenience, payments can be set up both in Spain or

in your home-country bank account, as long as it is within the Single Euro Payments Area (SEPA) zone.

Customers must be aware that these offers are not for renewals or replacements, and apply to new, comprehensive car, home and life insurance. In some cases, minimum premiums will apply, to be eligible for the cashback. Some other conditions may apply.

Liberty Seguros will continue its commitment to reward loyalty to existing customers.

We value our customers, and will do our ut-

most to offer the best service and price possible.

In order to achieve this, and to assist those who prefer a more personalised service, Liberty Seguros has an extensive network of 300 brokers who are dedicated to providing friendly, expert advice.

Speaking your own language, these brokers are available to discuss, face-to-face, the cover that will be right for you.

With insurance, not only for car and home, but also life, pet, business, commercial, leisure, public liability and personal injury, today Liberty Seguros is considered the expat’s number-one choice in Spain. To find out more, or to receive a noobligation quote, visit www.libertyexpatriates. es. Or, to find the location of your nearest broker, simply call 91 342 25 49.

Refurbishing your bathroom

WHETHER you have just bought a property, or have had it for some time and it is looking a bit tired, you may want to think about refurbishing the bathroom.

If you want to stick to the same layout, the process can be relatively simple, because you may not need to move the plumbing.

This will depend on the age of the build-

ing, and it may be a false economy if you don’t check and replace any metal pipework with more modern plastic versions, while you already have the room gutted.

As far as the getting the work done is concerned, you have several options. You can do the work yourself, employ other trades and deal with them directly, or get someone else to project manage for you.

If you decide to undertake the work yourself, ensure that you have the technical knowledge necessary, and you will probably need

to speak Spanish in order to communicate with the various suppliers. Even if you employ the trades to do the work, you may have to move out of the property while the work is being done because of the amount of mess and disruption, especially if you only have one bathroom.

If you decide to get someone to project manage for you, you can return to your home country, safe in the knowledge that everything is being done according to your instructions, with a minimum of inconvenience.

Fortunately, nowadays, it’s

possible to see regular photos and even video updates, and to be in constant contact with the project manager.

Consider your budget.

A basic bathroom refit can come in at a few thousand euros and make an impressive difference, but, if you want a high-designer bathroom with luxury fittings, this could run into tens of thousands.

Be realistic and stick to your budget, with a small, contingency fund for unexpected expenses.

Think about what you want to fit into your new space. If you need storage for towels and bath products, or if you want speakers or even a TV, make sure these items are included in the original plans, rather than added as an afterthought.

A project manager may have some fresh ideas for you to consider, but ensure that you tell him or her, what you are expecting. For example, someone who likes to take lengthy, relaxing baths will have different requirements from someone who only showers, and is always in a rush.

Like most interior design, the colours and textures you use in

your room depend on your personal taste.

Tiles are the most practical solution for walls and floors, especially here in Tenerife, where sand and suncream can combine with water to cause a disaster on carpets and other types of flooring.

However, tiles don’t need to look sterile.

Nowadays, you can buy tiles that look like wood or other textures, but remain easy to clean and are virtually indestructible.

Wall tiles and splashbacks can be found that look more like rustic materials, or you could go for a completely-clean, minimalistic look.

If your property is a holiday home, it may be better to employ a

designer/project manager who can discuss the brief with you, and see the project through to the end.

This includes control of the keys and access to the property, as well as checking the quality of the work, and keeping an eye on the budget and the timescale.

And consider how convenient it would be to return to the island in due course, to your brand new bathroom, without any inconvenience!

All the services and products mentioned can be provided by Deco Nuevo, who will come to your home to supply free estimates, without obligation.

Tenerife’s marvels: some free, some expensive...

By Filippo Cestaro from Tenerife Sunshine

TENERIFE is the most -talked-about island: tropical paradise or Babylonian hell? Perfect retirement haven, or landing port for party goers?

In this article, I will give you my personal, possiblyunrequired, opinion. I’ll start by describing my first impression, the day I got off the plane, five years ago, in the remote year 2013. It was a shock. I came here after living for many years in Honduras, country of wild, lush forests, white, velvety beaches and turquoise waters, and the first impact with the densely-built south was brutal. I have never before seen so many hotels, not even in Sharm El Sheikh, the Egyptian location famous for being composed of, almost exclusively, hotels.

In addition, the place where I spent my first week was horrendous. I won’t disclose the name, but it has quite a reputation among cockroaches, if you’d like to go and ask them for an opinion.

Nevertheless, something has led me to stay here. We are in 2018, five years from my arrival, and I can pretty much say that I’ve learned to love this place that has now become my home. Yes, you got it right. I’ve learned to love this place!

After all, Tenerife is neither Paradise nor Babylon. It is a volcanic island in the Atlantic Ocean, opposite the African coast. It is a rocky colossus that stands tall, peaking at 3700m above sea level. It is a land of wind, water, fire and earth.

It is a place, far and above the definitions we humans give it. We are the ones capable of seeing the positive or the negative side, depending mostly on our mind-set and our emotions.

Possibly having some advice from a passionate local guide, and knowing where

to address our attention, can help us to appreciate the good of a place, so here I am offering you a few hints and suggestions about the things that, according to me, make Tenerife a place worthy of being explored and respected.

Morphology: Tenerife is the tenth-highest island on the planet. Its 3718m peak is often covered in snow during the wintertime, and you could enjoy this majestic view from a sunbathed beach. You could have a sailing excursion to admire whales and dolphins during the day, and then enjoy a

star-gazing evening, right underneath the galactic centre, with perfectly-clear air at higher altitudes. You can spend amazing days, halfway between ocean and mountain, accompanied by specialised guides.

Culture and celebrations: Tenerife and the Canary Islands have been, since the days of Columbus, a place where many different cultures meet: the Spanish colonial, the Berbers and their Guanche descendants, the South American one.

All of them left a mark on the island.

Today, Tenerife is a multicultural hub.

You could be sipping a “cortado” coffee, whilst chatting in English, Spanish or Italian, just to name a few of the languages spoken on the Island; a true example of “globalisation”, in the most positive sense.

Tenerife is also the scenography for one of the biggest carnivals in the world: the carnival of Santa Cruz. If you haven’t been there yet, this is something to be seen. Given the size and importance of the

event, I recommend using a reputable agency to organise your excursion to the carnival.

Last, but not least, the Romeria, the Mage Kings’ ride; there are celebrations for everybody, all year round.

Honourable mention to the gastronomy; rich and tasty, influenced by continental Spain and South America, including thousands of local delicacies - “arepas”, “puchero canario” and “quesillo”, to name just a few. And that’s not all.

Thanks to tourism and modernisation, in this case, you will be able to find the best, international culinary traditions, as well as a firmament of Michelin stars for the most demanding taste buds.

All this, and much more, just a few hours away from the main, European cities.

Come to visit our offices in Los Cristianos, where you will find the best excursions of the island at the best rates, and a team of people who love Tenerife and will show you its best side. www.tenerifesunshine.com

Situated in the small, picturesque, fishing village of La Caleta, you’ll find this fresh, modern, family-friendly restaurant serving international cuisine. It’s the perfect spot for a relaxed lunch and catch-up with friends.

I was joined by Chris, the Canarian Weekly editor, for a relaxing Friday lunch; just what was needed after a

busy week in the office.

We started the meal with a couple of cocktails, a Bellini and some Hugo Bubbles, which is a very refreshing mix of

passion fruit, lime and Prosecco, a perfect way to get the conversation flowing.

For my starter, I had the roasted-pump-

kin soup, served with crème fraîche. It was rich in flavour, with a touch of cumin that really set it off. Chris had the meatballs, and they were packed full of flavour; perfectlycooked, mouth-watering, succulent lamb, mixed with herbs and spices, served with a zingy tomato-and-basil sauce and bruschetta.

The whole dish was delicious.

For the main, I had the vegetarian option of ricotta, aubergine and boletus mushroom conch pasta. It was cooked perfectly, with a lovely earthy sauce and a creaminess from the sprinkled ricotta.

We also had the braised pork cheek and bacon burger. This was the standout dish for me; lovely, soft, meltin-the-mouth pork with a smoky flavour from the bacon, an Asian flavour from the teriyaki sauce, with a peppery freshness from the rocket, and all wrapped up in a lovely, fresh, seeded bun. The burger was served with triple-cooked chips that were perfectly crispy on the outside, and fluffy in the centre.

For dessert, we had a gorgeous, strawberry cheesecake. The base was crumbly and buttery, with a few, surprise strawberry pieces. The topping was light, fluffy and creamy, and garnished with dried straw-

berries. It was the perfect end to the meal; light, refreshing, tasty - and a little indulgent!

Lagarto’s Lunch is unique in Tenerife because it offers fresh, international, top-quality food and fantastic cocktails, all at superb prices. With the menu regularly changing, I can’t wait

to come back and see what else they have on offer.

They have created a hashtag for their lunch, #LetsMakeTime, and there really is no better excuse to stop putting off that lunch date you have been meaning to arrange for so long, and come and try this amazing menu.

The dream’s still alive CD Tenerife 2 Lorca 0

By Colin Kirby

CD Tenerife review

TRY telling Tenerife and their fans that promotion is an unrealistic dream, because they don’t give up easily, especially in front of a bumper 15,131 crowd.

And the team were back to winning ways, with this success over second-bottom Lorca.

The players showed dogged determination to keep hounding the play-off pack, and, though this wasn’t a classic, home performance, Lorca were spoilers who dragged the game down.

But the gap to that elusive, sixth, play-off place is back down to four points.

This match was a potential banana skin, so Tenerife’s early goal was most welcome. Captain Suso latched on to a ball from Alberto, outmuscled a defender and outwitted keeper Dorronsoro after five minutes.

Lorca, the second division’s worst travellers, had little to offer, sending a few, aimless balls in the vague direction of striker Apeh.

The home defence was solid, with Carlos Ruiz back from suspension, and Luis Perez side-lining Apeh for much of the first half.

Longo ploughed a lone furrow up front for Tenerife, and he did well to bring down a loose ball and backheel it, but there was no one to feed off his expertise.

Keeper Dorronsoro dropped a high ball that went unpunished, and Apeh headed wide after finding, finally, some space. Alex Mula demonstrated his wing wizardry again, beating three defenders before slinging the ball in. But the keeper nicked it out of the air.

Poor Apeh was having a bad day, and Alberto robbed him twice in quick succession, as he tried to wriggle past.

But Tenerife kept the pressure on by playing fullbacks Raul Camara and Luis Perez high up the field, which made life uncomfortable for Lorca.

Bryan Acosta increased his influence on the game in the second half, and it paid off. The young Honduran was sharp to convert a

Yassine strike not enough Las Zocas 1 CD Marino 1

Mula pass into a well-taken, second goal, after 61 minutes.

Home coach Joseba Etxeberria used the lead to make a couple of changes, Inaki replacing Suso, and Juan Carlos Real taking over from Alex Mula. Both departing players were given a rapturous round of applause as they left the field.

Lorca did enjoy a late spasm of activity, tickling the gloves of Dani Hernandez with a couple of weak shots.

At the other end, keeper Dorronsoro made the best save of the game. A Tener-

ife header from their final sub, Malbasic, was destined for the bottom corner of his goal, before he flicked it aside with an agile dive.

Fede Vega should have made a late exit for Lorca after a rugby-style challenge, but the game ended as a solid day’s work for Tenerife, who collected the points with a clean sheet, and had no new suspensions or injuries.

Sunday sees another big outing for Tenerife, who face a crunch match at Osasuna, another close rival for a play-off spot, with a 3pm kick-off.

EASTER is always a busy time for footballers, and, after a weekend off, Marino were back in action on Wednesday.

Striker Yassine gave them a good start with a seventhminute goal, and they held on well in the opening half, keeper David making some important saves.

But the second half began poorly for them, Las Zocas fighting back to win a penalty just after the restart. Cherre scored from the spot, and the match remained level, leaving Las Zocas in ninth place, and CD Marino two behind them.

This Sunday, it’s back to home action for Marino. who welcome Santa Ursula for a noon kick-off.

30th March - 5th April 2018

Women’s Football HOSTS Granadilla, who were 3-0 down after 20 minutes, were upstaged completely by rampant league leaders Atletico Madrid.

The home side’s stronger second half restricted the final score to 4-0 last Sunday. But it wasn’t quite what Egatesa Granadilla had in mind for the 2,000 fans, in their San Isidro ground.

As good as Atletico were, Granadilla came out flat, and failed to give a good account of themselves with their normal, attacking flair, in the first half.

Two minutes in, a deep ball from the halfway line was met by Sonia, as she split two, home defenders and scored from a tight angle. Worse was to come as Amanda Sampedro fired the ball across the goal from the corner flag, Esther turning it into the net.

Atletico, looking supremely confident, were stroking the ball around, and not afraid to play a couple of back-passes to build further raids.

And Amanda showed she could score as well as create.

Cindy Garcia hesitated in the home defence, losing the ball, and Amanda seized on it, rounding keeper Pili Gonzalez to add a third strike.

Blitzed… in 20 minutes Granadilla Tenerife 0 Atletico Madrid 4 fired wide with a long shot.

Jackie Simpson was defiant in defence, and broke up several Atletico attacks, as well as supporting her forwards at corners.

There was another blow for Granadilla, when sub Ange Koko was hacked down

by Marta Corredera, and leapt back up to confront her attacker. It was more pushing than anything, but

But Atletico weren’t just about skill. They proved to be a tough side as well, targeting Maria Jose Perez as the main, home threat.

A crunching clash of bodies left Maria Jose needing a clean shirt, after a bloodied nose.

Granadilla did tighten up at the back, but Pili had to make a great save at the feet of Sonia. And, up front, Maria Estella headed

the ref sent both off with straight, red cards.

Pili defied Sonia again, and almost kept the Madrid tide at bay. But a danger ball wasn’t cleared by two leaping defenders in injurytime, and Viola nipped in to make it 4-0.

Granadilla have another tough game on Sunday, away at Barcelona at noon, and they will certainly be aware of the task they face.

wide from a rare, home attack.

Half-time must have come as a relief, and coach Toni Ayala will have reminded his players how good they have been this season, because they came out for the second half in a positive mood.

Eva Llamas had a strong shout for a penalty when she was blocked, bearing down on goal, and Silvia Doblado

It’s Yelas, all the way

By Andy Maughan MANY congratulations to Yelas Travellers, who are champions of the Second Division, with a game in hand.

They secured the title by beating Bar Leones 9-3, to complete their magnificent, debut season, having lost just three matches.

Yelas, unbeaten for five weeks, have proved worthy winners, and a special mention for Pe-

ter Corton, who finished second in the overall stats, on 71%.

This week, First Division Clouseaus Bar gained their first away win of the season, beating Scruffy Boys 7-5.

And it was all down to a monumental effort by Tim Clark and George Warrender, who, between them, won six of their seven games.

It looks as though the First Division title will be settled in the final week of the season.

Women’s Volleyball

Wobbly win is a relief Iberostar Tenerife 77 Joventut 75 GRATEFUL but not satisfied… that just about sums up the mood in the Iberostar Tenerife camp, after the team ended a losing streak last Saturday in La Laguna.

It was a time for players to step up and show their character, and some unlikely heroes took centre stage.

An 18-10 first quarter laid the foundations, and the 15-17 reverse which followed, just about kept things on track.

The 26-19 thirdquarter win was Tenerife’s best part of

Marilyns A Ourplace Breakaways

the game, so maybe all was well after all.

But no! Coach Fotios Katsikaris suffered a relapse in the final quarter as the home side just about hung on, despite losing that last section 18-29.

And that is sure to haunt him in the following weeks, as

his players attempt to climb the table.

The big guns were again not firing, so it was down to the likes of Kositas Vasilaidis to steer Tenerife to safety.

He was the welcome Greek, bearing gifts for his coach and fellow countryman.

Petit Niang, Senegalborn but Tenerifedeveloped, also won special praise for his gutsy, eight-point contribution.

The result puts Tenerife in ninth position, but still way below where they expect to be in Spain’s elite Endesa League.

Final fling falls flat ARONA Tenerife Sur were just three points from closing their return season to Spain’s Premier League with an away win.

But it has still been a rewarding campaign

for the ladies, with more peaks than troughs.

A short trip to Gran Canaria’s CV 7 Palmas saw the home side gain revenge for an earlier defeat in Tenerife, winning

the five-set clash 3-2.

It was so close all the way, with quarters of 2025, 27-25, 19-25, 25-20, along with the nail-biting decider, which finished 16-14 to the home team.

Kickboxing

Pride of San Miguel THEY breed them tough in San Miguel, but even the world of kick-boxing must be impressed by the quality of fighters coming from the small town, a few miles up from Las Chafiras.

Cathayasa Delgado has just become a world

champion, and holder Jonay Risco defends his world title in May. Cathayasa won her World Pro-Am crown in the 57kg category in Bangkok, against American Danielle Butler. And Jonay is training hard for his Enfusion fight-night, on 5th

May at the Recinto Ferial hall in Santa Cruz, where tops the bill against Davit Kiria.

The high-profile fight is his reward for demolishing Buakaw Bangchameg to claim his world crown at Yas Island, in Abu Dabi, in the Under70kg category.
