Two teenage boys have been found guilty of the murder of a 71 year old British pensioner who was found dead at his holiday home in Arona last year, the UK’s East Riding Mail reports.
The guilty ruling was handed down on what would have been his 72nd birthday.
Peter Cockshutt from East Yorkshire was found dead at his home on an urbanisation on the Costa del Silencio, on the south of Tenerife, on February 9 2010. He had been stabbed twice in the chest and once in the leg, in what the court considered was a burglary which had gone wrong.
Two youngsters from Latin America, aged 14 and 16, were arrested in connection with his death later that day.
Sentencing in the case has yet to be announced, but it’s understood that the two teenagers face a possible sentence of eight years in a young offender’s institute.
