Gibraltar Police

A MURDER investigation has been opened by the Gibraltar police after a man was found dead on Prince Edward’s Road.

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.

The public are being warned that both uniformed and plain clothes police officers will be investigating the scene while work continues.
