A Spanish language teacher for immigrants, Juan Antonio Montero Luceño, has been stabbed to death by an ex student in Mérida.
The National Police have arrested a 21 year old Moroccan man in connection with the homicide of the 69 year old Spaniard who was well known in Mérida after being the headmaster at the Trajano college in the city Centre. He was known across the town as ‘Manley’ and had dedicated his retirement to helping the marginalised, fundamentally immigrants.
He was an artist also had showed an exhibition last February of work featuring the people of Africa.
It appears the two men had met when the retired teacher was helping out at the Mérida refugee centre giving Spanish classes to the immigrants.
The centre closed down last year due to a lack of funding.
The Government Delegation in Extremadura has said that the cause of the attack is being investigated, and that robbery has already been ruled out.
