Tragic Event in Parla, Madrid
A woman with 35 years old has died
from multiple stab wounds in an
apartment located at the 14th Stars Avenue
in Parla, on Monday, the 2nd of April 2012,
as a spokesman of Emergency Madrid
confirmed.
As her family say, they
suspect that the alleged
culprit is her husband of 40
years old, with whom she
had a 9 year relationship and that day, he
supposedly wore a green shirt and a short
cowboy brown shoes.
The 112 has received a wake up call
at 6 o'clock in the morning on Sunday and
when the SUMA physicians came to the
apartment, they found the
woman in a white coat, blue
sandals and a tight ponytail, lying in bed,
surrounded but a lot of blood and several
serious injuries over the body and several
stabbings. “The victim was already dead
and the medical team could only confirm
the death”, the report stated, adding that
there were more people in the house. The
National Police has taken over the
investigation.

A Robbery in Arinaga Beach
On September 10, 1904 a very
important robbery at a shop in Arinaga
beach was commited. Eight hundred euros
were stolen, and the suspects were armed
with two knives. One of the victims said
that the suspects were a man with a white
cap and a blonde and very tall woman who
escaped in a pink car.
People called the police and they ran
immediately after the thieves. After a very
dangerous pursuit, the robbers crashed
against a tree and the car was totally
wreck. The robbers were trapped inside
the car and the police called the firemen
3
VOLUME 1 4th ESO CDigital edition December, 2012
to rescue them. After two hours, they took
the woman out, wounded in her head, and
the corpse of the man. They took the
woman, named Diane, quickly to the
hospital, and after a few months of
recovery, there was a judgment where the
woman was sentenced to ten years of
prison and to give back the money.
Finally, the police officers informed to
mass media that the robber was at prison,
so that Arinaga’s inhabitants weren’t
worried for the safety of their town.

Bullying, a terrible Violence.
One girl under 16 has died in the
Royal City General hospital on Friday after
remaining in critical condition. The father
of the teenager who was studying at IES
Maestro Juan de Avila had complaint the
day before about the “climate of violence”
that her daughter lived in the school.
The
Ministry of Education has opened an
investigation to find out if she committed
suicide because of bullying she was
suffering.
According to the Headmaster of the above
mentioned high school, the first and only
time he had received a complaint had
been on Wednesday 7th November, when
this girls's father went to the school to
expose the climate of violence that,
according to the young girl, suffered. The
young girl had a high number of absences,
six so far this November.

She committed suicide because of
peers' harassment and because she never
denounced this harassment.

Tragedy in Hillsborough
On 15th April of 1996, the fans of
Liverpool FC lived a horrible incident at the
Hillsborough Stadium (England). In the
event 96 people died crushed against the
fences of the stadium.
It was in a match between Liverpool
FC and Nottingham Forest in the semifinals
of the England Cup. The 96 dead people
were Liverpool fans. Today, all the football
teams still remember that fans they also
want that this even doesn't happen again.
From this day onwards, the English
Team couldn’t play in European
competitions for six years and the UEFA
opened a record as punishment. It was the
first time a punishment like this was given.
The football player Steven Gerrad’s
cousin died in Hillsborough when the boy
was ten years. This boy has became an idol
for Liverpool followers.
On 12th September of 2012
acommission of inquiry published decided
who was the responsible of the fatal
tragedy. The culprits were the security of
the stadium because they weren't
prepared for something as such.
In my opinion they could preview
that tragedy because they didn’t use to
check the security measures and maybe
the people in the stadium were more than
the the people allowed. Maybe the
stadium was overcrowded. Nowadays,
unfortunately, similar tragedies can be
seen because of the same reasons. A
recent example is what happened Madrid
Arena. With these events we can only
finish say that “man is the only animal
capable of stambling twice”

Dead Man found in Las Palmas
The victim is called P.M. He is from a
family of Telde. He had four children.
He was found with two stabs in his
chest in a park of a residential area in Las
Remudas. He was seen by an old woman
that was taking the dog for a walk. The dog
started barking when they were very close
to the body. It was about 7.30a.m, she
discovered that he had no blood.
Yesterday, some witness saw a band
from Jinamar in the area. The victim
worked in Las Palmas bakery and it is
thought that he was murdered due to

bakery. The victim had 1 euro coin in his
chest.

he didn’t let her take the telephone. The
suspect forced the victim to undress and
to do things against her will.
The woman's dog didn’t use to
bark, but this evening the dog didn't stop
barking. Thanks to the barks of the dog,
the neighbors realized that something
strange was happening and they went
towards the woman's house to see if she
was well. When the neighbors approached
the door, they listened to the woman
shouting. The neighbours called the police
While the police was coming, the
suspect rapped the woman and ran away
rapidly through the window. The victim
was crying in a corner of the house when

tragedy.

of the victim and
the police found it

house.
Finally the police found the suspect.
it was not difficult to look for him having
his mobile in evidence.

A Murder for Stealing a car in
Barajas Airpor .
A woman recently died on her way
to work. The deceased was 40 years old
and was heading her way to work at
9
VOLUME 1 4th ESO CDigital edition December, 2012
Terminal 4 Iberia. She was air-hostess and
was married. It is unknown why the theft
took place, but what is known is that what
the robbers wanted was the car.
They hit the victim's car to simulate
an accident and got out of the car to fill
the accident's part. That was when there
was a struggle, there is even records that
the victim asked for help several times,
and it is said that the robbers fled with the
car stole to the victim, a "Cayen Porsche."
In front of the place where the accident
took place there were a few taxi drivers
who came to look and they found the
victim lying on the ground. The team
asked the SAMUR to go to that place. For
more than thirty minutes tried to
resuscitate the victim but they couldn't do
nothing except certifying her death. A
psychologist of the SAMUR also moved to
the area to meet her husband, several
family members and also a fellow of the
victim. The Civil Guard will take care of
everything but it is very complicated to
solve the case because there is no clue.
However, the accident happened near an
area with cameras, so they can review the
recordings and see if they can manage to
find something.
A witness tells us that the victim
tried to flee, but it was not possible
because the robbers run over her with her
own car. Now the police is looking for the
robbers but there are no clues. Relatives
are afraid they will not find the murderers.
Please if anyone knows anything, don't
hide it and help in the investigation of this
tragedy.

million pesetas (1.791.016,07€). At 19:20
and with the absence of his two

Robbery and Murder of a Young
Boy.
Last Sunday, there was a robbery in a
youth hostel. It ended with one young of
20 years old dead, in a park near the
hostel. The police are investigating the
robbery and they are suspecting that dead
12
VOLUME 1 4th ESO CDigital edition December, 2012
boy had to do with a robbery.
Up to now, there are a woman and
two men as suspects and one witness that
crossed the street while the crime was
happening.
In the crime scene a backpack with €
200.000 and a mobile phone with a
message saying: “You don’t know the
problem that you are in”received at
09:30PM, hours before of his dead, has
been discovered. The researchers think
that the robbery was programmed but the
not the death. It could have been an
argument and the death could have been
caused by a stone, but the alleged stone
hasn’t been found in the crime scene.
Maybe the murder removed the stone and
took the body in a car to the park that was
near the hostel.
About the suspects, we only know
that they robbed a hostel but nothing
about the death. The only possibility of
finding the murder is investigating the
young’s life. The witness saw the body on
the floor without blood but when he came
back the boy had a big bloody open
wound in his head.

The Karate Case
Last January, SOME students of
karate school 'Gran Canaria' declared
repeatedly sexually abused, when a
teenager decided to tell a teacher at
school where he was studying, and then
the police. She spoke to protect another
child, the younger brother of a friend of
hers who were being taken to the Vargas
beach house, where the accused were
consummating most of the abuses.
More than 50 alleged victims
between 9 and 35 years, have described a
panorama of abuse at school over 20 years
in a cult environment in which they were
taught that sex was an essential part of
the training, and that only being very
active would become great athletes.
Apart from training in the gym,
Fernando organized concentrations at the
weekend and in summer in his house in
Playa de Vargas, a village near the airport
of Las Palmas, and half an hour far from
the capital city. The director of this karate
school has two houses connected by the
backyard in El Eden, near the sea and palm
trees. They lived and trained students
there. That was the place where,
according to the alleged victims, that
14
VOLUME 1 4th ESO CDigital edition December, 2012
lifestyle focused on sex and karate was
favoured.
Victims have reported to the judge
that in the school sex between minors and
between minors and adults was
encouraged. The only witnesses are the
victims of the case, that there were few,
and all remained in silence.
The teacher and former karate
Spain champion, accused of abusing
students for decades and to form a kind of
cult with teenagers who were sexually
initiated at an early age, has maintained
his innocence since his arrest in February
2010, but prosecutors accused him of
being a "sexual predator" and using
psychological manipulation techniques
designed to elicit compliance at all levels
of those under 18. The prosecution asked
Fernando Torres to be condemned to 303
years in prison for 50 offenses of sexual
assault, corruption of minors and
possession of weapons in a procedure that
could become the largest pedophilia case
occurred in Spain. The prosecutor also
asked 154 years in prison for a couple of
Torres Baena since 1999 for crimes of
sexual abuse and corruption of minors.
This female teacher accused of
participating in the abuses might have
been a victim of Torres turn Baena as a
teenager. Currently police are still
investigating the case.

The Criminal of the Building
On 7th November 2010 in London, a
man found in a building the body of a
young student who was 18 years old
stabbed. A neighbour informed the police

the building after the assassination. The
police investigated the scene and found a
15
VOLUME 1 4th ESO CDigital edition December, 2012
bloody knife beside the corpse that had
fingerprints.
The police took
the knife to the lab
to examine the
fingerprints. They
discovered that it
belonged to a
famous criminal with several murders.
Then, researching, they discovered it in a
hotel on the outskirts of the city. Police
surrounded the building but the murderer
grabbed a man who worked at the hotel.
Finally, the police hostage had a sniper
on the roof of a building, who shot in the
culprit's arm causing the criminal free the
hostage and the police arrested the
criminal. At the end, the criminal was in
the prison for 10 years.

Murder in Gran Canaria.
History repeats itself. Tuesday,
October 9th , 2012, several weeks after a
girl was found dead in an abandoned
building and port of Las Palmas de Gran
Canarias, police and emergency services
received a call warning of the case It
seems to be that it was the suspect, but
when the police and ambulance arrived to
the place, the victim was dead and the
suspect had ran away. The victim's name is
Karina Gonzalez aged 20 years. She had
blond hair and she was tall. She wore a red
dress.
Apparently the victim used to take his
dog for a walk every afternoon around
here. The autopsy indicates that the victim
died around 7 pm, she has the same cuts
in the breasts, and in the buttocks, as
previous victims, who were also sexually
assaulted. According to data presented by
the national police of Las Palmas de Gran
Canarias, all features are coherent with
previous victims and it seems that the
suspect is a man aged between 30 and 40,
tall and with black hair. Neighbours of that
place reported seeing a man, with the
characteristics above mentioned,
wandering around the area days before,
16
VOLUME 1 4th ESO CDigital edition December, 2012
and there is even a neighbour who
claimed to have seen red dress today. They
found traces of sneakers fingerprints and
traces in the crime scene. Fingerprints
belong to Jesus Cabrera. The police have a
search warrant, we will know if they find

Serial Murderer in G.C
In these months evidences of a series
of murders at Cruce de Arinaga have been
found. The victims were all drownwd in
rum and they were all rapped but there
were no clues found.
Three girls are dead but the most
terryfying aspect is that there is one girl
missing and it is believed that the
murdered has killed the girl named
Isabella Sanchez. Her family is very
worried. They offered a reward if a
reliable clue is provided.
The suspect is believed to be about
thirty, tall, dark, strong-bodied. They
already have caught a clear suspect who is
being monitored and interrogated but the
police can't do anything else because
there are no real evidences to culprit the
suspect. In my humble opinion the police
are working hard but not enough.

Thriller Music Party in Madrid Arena
Nowadays, teenagers go to
macroparties organized by promoters of
events which do not comply with all
security systems. The lack of security , the
non control and the lack of staff made this
party become a tragedy .
The tragedy occurred around 4am
as party goers tried to leave the crowded
Madrid Arena through an exit after
someone apparently threw a firework into
18
VOLUME 1 4th ESO CDigital edition December, 2012
the crowd. One corridor became crammed
with people. According to witnesses,
people became crushed in a bottle neck
with more people pushing from behind.
The victims were aged between 18
and 20 years old, authorities said. The
three dead were named as Katia Esteban
Casielles , Rocio Ona Pineda, Cristina Arce
de la Fuente, all reportedly 18 years old.
There are two girls in hospital fighting for
their lives whose names are Maria Teresa
Alonso Vinateo and Belen Langdon Real.
Police have started an investigation
to determine whether correct security
measures were taken in this place and
whether the venue- which has a maximum
capacity of 12,000 - was overcrowded.
Witnesses described the scene of
horror during the special themed
Halloween party called Thriller Music Park
featuring well-known DJ Steve Aoki. The
party, where tickets were sold for 22€, had
promised a “theatrical atmosphere” and a
costume contest based on Michael
Jackson’s “Thriller” video.
“There was a human blockage at the only
exit because the others were sealed off,” a
party goer called Sandra told Spain’s
Cadena Ser Radio. “There were people
screaming, crushed, as security guards
tried to pull out those who were trapped,”
she said.
“I was trapped in a plug -we
couldn’t move forward because people
were lying on the floor and couldn’t move
backwards because people kept pushing,”
Ernesto Moreno Hernandez told Spanish
newspaper El Pais. “We were stuck there
for half an hour trying to get out.”
Cristina Cardenas, 18, described the
scene: “People were stuck inside, some
were vomiting, some fainted, it was
19
VOLUME 1 4th ESO CDigital edition December, 2012
chaos.” ”There were some stairs,” another
witness told public television. “There was
an avalanche of people and people fell
over each other and amassed there and
there was a crush.”
One witness described seeing a
waiter trying to save the life of one of the
girls. “There was no-one to help that girl:
the waiter got up on to the bar and tried
to resuscitate her,” the witness said.
Others said the stampede towards
the exit happened when someone set off a
firework in the crowd. “It seems to have
been provoked by a flare that someone
threw into the stadium,” a police
spokesman confirmed.
Miguel Angel Villaneuva, Madrid’s
deputy mayor said an investigation was
underway but there was nothing to
initially suggest organisers were to blame.
Emergency services said two of the victims
had died at the scene and a third shortly
after arriving at hospital. The two other
girls were said to be in a “critical
condition”. A month after this party, two
more girls died, making the tragedy even
worse.

Suicide in Baracaldo . A woman commits suicide before eviction.
Last 9th November 2012, a 53 years
old woman has passed away in Barakaldo,
Vizcaya when people in charge of her
eviction arrived to her house.
It seems that a woman got in a
chair and threw from a fourth floor to the
garden. This scene happened at 9:20 a.m
this Friday in a building. An ambulance
came to assist the woman who died in this

political party has said that is “very bad”

approved a plan this Thursday to halt the
evictions to the most vulnerable families.
