Baby among family of four found stabbed to death in Gibraltar

Reports state that a British man is among the dead and police are not looking for anyone else.

A FAMILY OF four including a baby and another child have been found stabbed to death in a flat in Gibraltar.

The family are not believed to be local, with reports stating that a 31-year-old British man is among the dead.

The others are said to be a 37-year-old Spanish woman, a girl aged four years and another six-week-old girl.

Police have cordoned off the area and will make a public statement later. BBC are reporting that Royal Gibraltar Police were not looking for anyone else involved.

Gibraltar is a self-governing British overseas territory located on Spain’s southern tip, it measures just 6.8 square kilometres and is home to about 30,000 people.

    I was a bit chilly earlier while out walking. Wrap up well. It is a lovely dry but frosty morning.

    The Department of Education and the Catholic Church say Spring beings on the first of February.
    Meteorologists say the first of March is Spring.
    The Astronomical Spring begins on Sunday 20th March.

    Green thumbs up if you think Spring begins in February and red thumbs down if you think Spring begins in March.

    We don’t have seasons in Ireland. The cold rain just slowly gives way to the warmer rain.

    What’s with all the wusses who spend ages laboriously scraping their car windows with a piece of plastic because they’re afraid they’ll make the kettle of water too hot? That’s no way to live.

    I hope the rain doesn’t suppress turnout. The govt parties would benefit from that
