She shouldn't have headed to Tenerife on holidays in the first place.

KungPao

Manuel Reveron, a local a councillor for citizen security said: "Apparently this gentleman without any motive or any reason, although for this there is no reasoning, entered the shop and then cut this woman's neck and took the head in his hand outside up to the sidewalk.
"Then the security guard was able to throw him on the ground and we covered the macabre (site)."

That's messed up.


Poor woman.

A British woman has been stabbed and beheaded in Tenerife, according to reports.


The supermarket where the incident reportedly happened
The woman was reportedly attacked in a supermarket in the town of Los Cristianos on the island.
A Bulgarian man, believed to be homeless, has been detained by Spanish police.
Spanish media reported that witnesses saw the man enter a Chinese supermarket at the Valdes Shopping Centre and, without saying a word, attacked the woman with a knife, cutting her head off.
A regional government spokeswoman said the killer is understood to have obtained a knife from inside the store to launch his attack.
Colin Kirby, of tenerifemagazine.com witnessed the event. He told Sky News: "It was all a bit surreal I was heading past the commercial centre and saw a group of people by the entrance and a medical guy going in form the health centre.
"I assumed someone had fainted, walked on, and then I could hear screaming and shouting.
"I glanced behind me and a guy was ambling down the street holding what I assumed to be a joke head, by the hair."
Manuel Reveron, a local a councillor for citizen security said: "Apparently this gentleman without any motive or any reason, although for this there is no reasoning, entered the shop and then cut this woman's neck and took the head in his hand outside up to the sidewalk.
"Then the security guard was able to throw him on the ground and we covered the macabre (site)."
A Foreign Office spokesman said: "We are aware of reports of the death of a British national in Tenerife and are urgently investigating."

Officials in Tenerife identified the victim as a 62-year-old British woman.

The suspect, believed to be a homeless Bulgarian man with a police record, was detained by security guards after he ran out of the supermarket in a shopping centre in Los Cristianos with the head in his hands.

Security staff chased the man and rugby tackled him.

A Foreign Office spokesman said: "We are aware of reports of the death of a British national in Tenerife and are urgently investigating."

A witness told broadcaster Cadena Ser that he saw the man drop a bloodstained woman's head on the pavement after coming out of the shop.
"I was parking my car outside the supermarket and I saw this man running out with something bloody in his hands," the witness said.

"It was a head. He had it in his hands. The security guards chased him and threw him to the floor and overpowered him."

The victim, who has not yet been identified, was working at the mini-market.
Dominica Fernandez, a government official, said the suspect had "chosen his victim by chance".

The suspect was reportedly discharged from a hospital in February having received treatment for violent behaviour.

A regional government spokeswoman said the suspect is believed to have entered the shop, stolen a knife which he then used to assault and behead the woman.

****ing hell. Sick prick.

Wasn't there a similar incident on a bus in Canada two years ago? Totally unprovoked, random attack, victim's head cut off. Unfathomable.

Pure random.

I'd agree. But this is more sensationalist; a headline grabber for Sky et al. You know, "one of our own" as opposed some 80 foreigners that we don't really empathise with.

IMHO, natch.

Hopefully someone doesn't do this to the queen when she's over.

Is that not what all news broadcasters are like though? People want to know about stuff that they can relate to or feel a connection with. Thats why we have local news and national news. And then we have international news. While the deaths of 80 innocent pakistanis is tragic, what happens to British people will always get more attention on British news channel, just as the goings on in London will get more coverage on BBC London than something happening in the Scottish highlands.

Even by AH's standards the jokes are beyond rubbish. At least make an effort!

Poor woman. I can't even imagine being in the same locale as something like that happening.

KnifeWRENCH

:eek: is all I can say to that.....

And a supermarket in Tenerfie, of all places. If she was trekking through the jungle and got beheaded by a tribe of cannibals or something, it would be different. But a supermarket? I mean.......jaysus.

Or you know, one was a bomb, at a military installation in what is effectively a warzone and unfortunately not an isolated incident. While it is barbaric mass murder you can't compare the two..

The other seems to be a woman in a supermarket doing her job attacked at random and beheaded by a stranger for no apparent reason. You don't really need to sensationalise it.

Yeah, we're so bloody parochial.

But London media is so... Londoncentric, as you probably know.

I like to feel I can relate to all humanity without sounding smug about it

Lighten up seriously. Do you really think I am pleasured from reading this story ? or that I had a laugh from it ?

It sickens me that there are people in this world who do it. But it is AH so take posts a little less to heart

Ho-lee shít! :eek:

And this is why I have no time for PETA:

After the [murder of Time McLean], People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) sent an advertisement to the Portage Daily Graphic comparing the murder of Tim McLean to the killing of animals for food. The ad was rejected by the paper. PETA was harshly criticized for attempting to exploit the incident in such a manner, but refused to apologize

This pisses me of, what has AH got to do with it, do we have to laugh at every joke because it's AH. It's a real life issue not a joke.

I'm vegan and have been for several years, have a lot of vegetarian/vegan friends too and just want to say that PETA don't represent any of us, nor do we have any time for them either.

That is absolutely horrific.

It's just so terrible.

Did you not get the memo? On boards it's grand to crack jokes about people dying as long as they aren't celebrities. Take the piss out of a celebrity death and you get banned. Take the piss out off a random joe soap that has died and you get thanked.

biko

Wow, that is ****ed up.

gosuckonalemon

I'd put money on that the killer was some kind of delusional, paranoid schizophrenic who wadn't been taking his medication. No other explanation.

No coincidence that it's Friday the 13th either!
