MALLORCA TODAY - British tourist accused of murder in court today

The British tourist, Thomas William S., appears in a Palma court today, accused with the murder of Gary Vigors in Magaluf. Witnesses have already testified before the judge that the accused was the one who attacked Vigors. Reports of the crime suggest that Vigors' face was disfigured by cuts from a broken bottle and then bled to death from a slash across the jugular vein. The Guardia Civil were unable initially to interrogate the accused as he was in no fit condition to be questioned, being under the influence of alcohol and disorientated. The two men were both attached to a cricket team from Northamptonshire that was due to play the Mallorca Cricket Club at the weekend. The game was cancelled.
