ARCHIVED - Malaga paedophile beaten to death by father of victim
A man who sexually harassed a minor died after being beaten up by the girl’s father in an Estepona café this weekend
The father of a girl who was sexually assaulted has been arrested for kicking his daughter’s aggressor to death in the Málaga town of Estepona this weekend.
The man, 49, beat up a neighbour of his, 57, who allegedly sexually harassed his daughter while she was a minor, causing injuries that led to his death the following day.
The events took place on Saturday December 4 at around 12.30pm in a café in Estepona, where the victim was surprised from behind by the father, who threw him to the ground and then kicked him several times in the side with steel-toed boots. He was later arrested for the alleged crime of reckless homicide.
The two men were reportedly neighbours and had maintained a good relationship until 2017 when the daughter, who was a minor at the time, told her parents that she was sexually harassed by the victim of the fatal beating.
According to witnesses, the assailant referred to the harassment his daughter had suffered while kicking the man on the floor. Finally, some customers intervened in the attack and managed to separate them, with both men leaving the establishment separately.
However, only a day later, on Sunday morning, the victim of the assault began to feel unwell at home and his partner called an ambulance. While being assisted, he went into cardiorespiratory arrest.
After being admitted in critical condition to the ICU at a hospital in Marbella, the patient died in the operating theatre while undergoing emergency spleen surgery.
