Last Saturday evening, a gentleman who the police suspect may be a 63 year old Englishman who lived locally, about poured petrol over himself and set himself alight in the Rambla of Chirivel.

The resultant fire set light to a field which had to be put out by the Albox fire crew. Police are awaiting the results of dental records to identify the corpse.

(View story in Spanish) Not sure why this has only surfaced now but maybe everybody is over at the riots in Roquetas del Mar?
