It is still unclear why the near-fatal stabbing late last year took place. It comes after a cyclist was killed in what was described as a “deliberate” hit-and-run in Tenerife in December. Police were alerted in the municipality of Arona in the south of the holiday island. The victim was cycling on the TF-652 road between Las Chafiras and the fishing village of Las Galletas. Comment now
