Two men were found dead on Thursday inside a farmhouse in a rural district of Irun, Gipuzkoa. Local authorities confirmed the grim discovery and began a careful assessment of what happened in the Olaberria quarter, a countryside area situated on the slopes near Peñas de Aia.
Ertzaintza sources informed EFE that initial investigations are examining the possibility that one man may have shot the other before taking his own life. This line of inquiry is being pursued as investigators gather evidence at the scene and interview potential witnesses who might illuminate the sequence of events leading up to the tragedy.
The incident prompted rapid mobilization from public safety teams. Agents from Citizens Protection and the Bizkor Immediate Response group were dispatched to the farmhouse to secure the area, confirm the identities of the deceased, and safeguard the surrounding properties while a thorough search for additional risk or involvement continued.
Regional investigative resources from the Ertzaintza’s Gipuzkoa unit were also deployed to support the inquiry into the exact circumstances surrounding the deaths. The Basque regional Ministry of Security has indicated that investigators are actively working to establish a clear timeline, determine the weapons used, and understand any potential motives or preceding events that may have contributed to the incident.
In the days ahead, families and the local community are likely to seek reassurance as authorities pursue all available lines of inquiry. The ongoing investigation will include forensic analysis, review of surveillance and neighborhood information, and coordination with regional and possibly national bodies to ensure a complete and transparent account of what occurred in this rural setting near Irun.
