The Sixth Section of the Provincial Court of Las Palmas will try next week in Gran Canaria a defendant accused of killing a man after allegedly throwing him headfirst over a railing in a shopping center in Costa Teguise.
According to the Prosecutor's indictment, the accused T.C.K. was allegedly at 3:30 AM on May 28, 2023, in the vicinity of a bar in the Teguise Playa shopping center, in Costa Teguise, when he allegedly began an argument with the victim.
