Brit ‘murdered’ in Spain after being ‘hit on the head with hoe by raging neighbour in row over him walking his dog’

A BRITISH man has tragically died after being hit on the head with a hoe by a raging neighbour amid a heated row.

The man was rushed to a nearby hospital with severe head injuries but was later pronounced dead by the medical staff.

Cops have now arrested a suspect following the assault in the small town of Zurgena in south-east Spain.

The incident is understood to have occurred after the Brit man’s neighbour got upset with him for walking his dog near his home.

He then allegedly ran out of his property to attack him with the fatal garden tool.

Investigative officials said the man was initially arrested on suspicion of attempted homicide following the attack.

He is now facing a new upgraded charge of homicide, it is understood.

A spokesman for the Spanish Civil Guard said: “It is now a matter for the court which has launched an ongoing investigation.”

It is not known if the dead Brit lived permanently in Zurgena or had a holiday home in the area.

It comes after a 19-year-old Brit tourist tragically plunged to her death from the sixth floor of a hotel in Ibiza.

The tragedy occurred around 3am this morning at a seafront four-star adult-only hotel in the party resort of San Antonio called Hotel Vibra District.

Meanwhile, another Brit tourist died in front of his girlfriend after a 15ft fall at a hotel in Majorca just weeks ago.

The 28-year-old fell over a wall by the hotel entrance and landed on the ground next to the hotel’s spa pool after a night out partying.

Another British tourist was rushed to hospital after falling 15ft from his hotel balcony in Majorca last month.

The man was left “seriously injured” as he landed on his head in broad daylight after a row with friends, according to local media.
