Distraught mother devastated after 15-year-old son dies from stabbing in Spanish shopping center
A British teenager was fatally stabbed in a Spanish holiday resort.
Andrew Milroy was killed by a single stab wound to the chest in Lloret de Mar during the early hours of yesterday morning.
Police are searching for a gang of French youths of North African origin with whom Andrew had an altercation.
The killing happened in the shopping center of Lloret de Mar during the early hours of Sunday morning
Andrew’s mother, Jackie, originally from Richmond, Surrey, has expressed her devastation.
She and her husband, Andy, run an American diner called Route 66 in the Costa Brave resort.
Mrs. Milroy, who emigrated to Spain 26 years ago, said: ‘I’m in a state of shock and can’t think straight at all.’
‘We haven’t spoken to the police yet, so we don’t really know what happened. I’m hoping things will become clearer later.’
‘All we know is that they’re still looking for the person who killed my son.’
Andrew, who was born in Spain, was attacked around 4am in Lloret’s central shopping district.
A nearby hotel security guard called the police after being alerted by the boy’s friends.
Ambulance workers found him lying in a pool of blood in an alleyway by a clothes shop.
He died after being rushed to Sant Jaume Hospital in the nearby town of Blanes, 40 minutes’ drive north of Barcelona.
A post-mortem examination was scheduled for later today.
A spokesman for the local police force, Mossos d’Esquadra, said: ‘An investigating judge has imposed a secrecy order over the case, preventing us from providing details about what happened. We can confirm that a British 15-year-old who lives in Lloret de Mar was fatally stabbed in the town around 4am on Sunday morning. An investigation is underway, and no arrests have been made yet.’
The British Embassy in Madrid stated: ‘We are aware of the death of a British national in Lloret de Mar and are offering consular assistance to his family.’
Andrew, who attended a local school called Inmalucada Concepcion, was born in Spain.
His parents used to run a popular pub for ex-pats and holidaymakers in the resort called Sergeant Peppers Fun Pub.
The stabbing is the third incident involving British youths in Spain in the past week.
Another British teenager was rushed to the hospital last Wednesday after being stabbed in the groin.
