The body of a man was found late yesterday in the town of Tabaiba, within the municipality of El Rosario, Tenerife. Authorities report the discovery as a violent death and are pursuing a suspect linked to a prior incident in the same area.
Early information indicates the deceased male was last seen at a residence in Tabaiba on Tuesday. Investigators from the Civil Guard’s Judicial Police, specifically the Organic Division, are examining the scene and coordinating with local police to determine the sequence of events leading to the fatal outcome. The investigation focuses on whether the death is connected to an incident that occurred in the Marlisa II building on Portugal street in the coastal town of El Rosario.
Local authorities have identified a 54-year-old man, Anthony S.R., as a person of interest in the case. Reports indicate he is a resident of the area and is said to have ties to the property where the events took place. The Civil Guard’s Organic Unit of the Judicial Police is collaborating with the Crimes Against Civil Guard Persons Squad during the inquiry into the violent death at the Tabaiba apartment.
Witnesses described a confrontation between two individuals on Tuesday in the Marlisa II building. After a loud argument and physical altercation, several neighbors reportedly heard disturbances emanating from the apartment that faces the sea. The situation allegedly escalated to the point where a window was broken, drawing attention from residents who live nearby.
According to available information, the person found at the scene was left lying on the ground near a cliff, with a pool of blood nearby. There are reports suggesting the suspect may have left the residence and secured the door behind him. From that moment, authorities say, he has not been located, and the body discovered later is being treated as the result of a fatal attack linked to the ongoing investigation.
The deceased individual lived alone with a dog in a second-floor apartment in the Marlisa II building. Some neighbors described the resident as a calm person who kept to himself, contributing to the ongoing effort to piece together the timeline of events. Local law enforcement conducted a substantial deployment over the weekend, with officers securing access to the building’s garage and main entrances, as well as the apartment where the incident occurred.
On Wednesday, forensic teams from the Criminalistics Laboratory of the Organic Unit of the Judicial Police carried out a thorough inspection of the crime scene. A detailed photographic record was created, and initial steps included sealing the surrounding area to preserve potential evidence. Over the course of the day, investigators moved to remove seals on certain containers as the examination progressed and more information became available.
Authorities are pursuing several lines of inquiry, including the events leading up to the fatal confrontation, the identity and whereabouts of the suspect, and any possible connections between the parties involved. The investigation remains active, with the Civil Guard’s specialized units continuing to gather evidence and interview witnesses in an effort to determine the motive and sequence of actions that culminated in the death in Tabaiba.
Residents are urged to avoid speculation as officials work to establish the facts. Updates will be provided as new information becomes available and the inquiry advances through its standard procedures.
