Red Cross gets new technology THE Javea branch of the Red Cross can manage key community projects more efficiently thanks to a generous donation from the Roundabout Charity Shop. The €2,650 donation has allowed Cruz Roja volunteers to upgrade four computers at its headquarters in the Old Town and replace obsolete equipment. Areas that will immedi-
ately benefit include teams working with senior citizens, disabled people, social intervention, and training volunteers. And donations made in the near futrure have been earmarked for the association’s Local Emergency Project, seen as a vitally important project. It will allow the Red Cross in Javea to be pre-
pared for any form of emergency in the municipality natural disasters like fires and flooding, as well as assistance to people in extreme vulnerability. Such support is expensive, so the Red Cross appeals to all associations, charities and individuals in the community to consider making a donation “to help fund a project that has become a necessity for the community”.

Fugitive detained in Javea A 47-year-old man found guilty of the brutal rape of his former partner before absconding has been tracked down and arrested in Javea. The rape dated back to 2012 when he broke into his partner’s house, wearing a mask, and forced her

to have sex. He had been drinking and also carried out a sexual assault a court heard. He was found guilty and as sentenced to nine years and two months but appealed on the grounds that
he had just had a vasectomy and was unable to have sex while the wounds from the operation healed. During this appeal process he escaped custody and turned up in Javea this week where he was rearrested. Police believed he was very dangerous and had pre-
vious concerns he would try to contact his former partner who lived in Gandia with the accused. His appeal is still to be considered although he will almost certainly face fresh charges for this escaping custody and going on the run.
