30-YEAR-OLD Moroccan national has been arrested in connection with the homicide of a Swedish holidaymaker, 19, in a Costa del Sol hotel.
Police say A.B., a resident in Spain, reportedly called round at the room in the Hotel El Cid in Fuengirola (Málaga) where the teen was staying with her friend of the same age and nationality.
The girls had apparently met the accused at a disco on the night of the incident and it is believed they opened the door to him when he knocked, as in the city were no signs of forcible and violent entry to the room.
He is said to have booked into the hotel for just one night, and gone to the girls’ room with the intention of forcing them to have sex with him.
When they resisted, the suspect is said to have pulled a knife on them.
One girl perished instantly from stab-wounds to the neck, and the other suffered deep cuts.
She ran from the room and called for help, and both the clerk and on-duty police officer pinned down the man until extra forces arrived.
The surviving teenager was taken to Marbella’s Costa del Sol hospital for treatment, and later discharged.
Hotel sources say the two girls had been staying at the hotel since June 16 on holiday following the end of their first year at high school.
