Héctor James TG, a Colombian immigrant who has been in Spain for 25 years, sneaked into the chalet with the keys he had for his work. He was surprised by the owner, Francisco D., a 96-year-old man with reduced mobility and poor vision, whom he stabbed without saying a word.
The thief, who had been working in cleaning and maintaining the house's pool for five years, stabbed him nine times, two of them fatally. The Court of Alicante has sentenced a pool cleaner from Jávea to a permanent, reviewable prison sentence.
