Tourists find weapon that may solve old crime

Observador2 September 2026 at 13:15

Tourists found a weapon that may be related to an old crime. The weapon found corresponds to a Swiss semi-automatic pistol that was used to kill three members of a British-Iraqi family and a French cyclist.

The prosecutor in charge of the case stated that the analysis of the weapon is a priority in the investigations. The case involves victims of different nationalities, which makes the crime particularly complex.

The authorities are now examining the weapon found to confirm if it is related to the murders. The fact that tourists discovered the pistol may represent a significant breakthrough in solving this old case.
