Gibraltar resident, Michael Montegriffo, was found by a member of the public by Gavino’s Dwelling’s with bleeding from an injury to his head. A murder investigation has now been opened with forensic work continuing at the scene.
A post mortem carried out by the Home Office Forensic Pathologist Office, concluded that his injuries – and ultimate death – were not consistent with falling from a height or being struck by a vehicle, examinations carried out at the scene support these findings.
