San Sebastián (EFE).- Two residents of the rural neighborhood of Olaberria in Irun (Gipuzkoa) died this Thursday from shotgun fire.
The two men, aged 53 and 47, both residents of the rural neighborhood of Olaberria in Irun (Gipuzkoa), were found dead this Thursday in the vicinity of a farmhouse with gunshot wounds caused by a shotgun.
The Ertzaintza keeps open “all hypotheses” about the circumstances of this event, as indicated by the Security Councilor, Josu Erkoreka.
Killed by shotgun blasts
“It is not possible to ensure one hundred percent that they are cross deaths. The origin of the shot in both cases remains to be confirmed. It could be crusade, or we could be looking at a murder-suicide. All the hypotheses are open ”, he has pointed out in the corridors of the Basque Parliament.
However, Ertzaintza sources have informed EFE that the first investigations suggest that one of the men killed the other with a shotgun and subsequently committed suicide.
Relatives of one of the deceased have found the bodies and have alerted the Ertzaintza around 11:30 a.m. this Thursday.
both were partners
Agents of Citizen Protection and the Bizkor Immediate Reaction group have gone to the place, where they have certified the discovery of the two corpses and have verified that both had wounds produced by a firearm.
Territorial investigation resources from the Gipuzkoa Ertzaintza have also been mobilized, working to try to clarify the circumstances of this event, the Basque Department of Security has reported.
As indicated by municipal sources and residents of the town, apparently the two deceased were partners and owners of land located in this area, which they leased.
The two lived in the Olaberria neighborhood, a rural area located on the slopes of Peñas de Aia, populated by scattered hamlets.
The mayor of Irun, the socialist José Antonio Santano, has been “dismayed” by the “violent death of two residents” of the town.
“While waiting for the police investigation, I only think of two broken families. Very sad! ”, He has lamented her.
