A man was killed, maybe by Farruquito (in reply to Kate)

Kate, A judge has not condemned him yet, and he may indeed be innocent. I was just too lazy to get the dictionary and look for the English word for "presunto"... I'm still that lazy. So well, we can think of it with the romanticism you suggest, and picture him as covering his brother. Not impossible indeed... anyway, is his brother 18? That's the age to drive a car legally in Spain. It's funny to see how no one seems to care about the killed one. Even I titled my post as "Farruquito killed a man" rather than "A man was killed, maybe by Farruquito". Finally, he didn't go forward to the police. The lethal accident occured six months ago and a police investigation lead to him today. There will be more definite information in the coming weeks, I'll keep the forum posted. And about the -deleted- line on the ethnicity, it was bad articulated, as some other pieces of the post. Sorry. Jotego

Farruquito is (I think) son of el Farruco, one of the most famous dancers ever, and the older man dancing before Farruquito in Sauras ´Flamenco´ People trying to escape from accidents they´ve provoked are poor people, being flamenco or not.

When I was single and in my 20's I spent a couple of weeks in Tralee, Kerry all expenses paid as the survey ship I was meant to be working on had left and the return date was open due to factors such as weather etc. On my flight from Belfast to Limerick there were only about 10 passengers, all couples except for myself. The two extremely attractive young hostesses seemed to home in on me, sitting beside me and chatting and giving me free drinks and being very friendly and informal and on first-name terms. They asked me if I would like a lift to Limerick from the airport, and perhaps would I like to have a drink with them in their Hotel if I had time. My imagination started running riot, probably due to a diet of too many "Playboy" magazines and I could physically feel my heart rate increase as the brunette one looked into my eyes and in what seemed a quite unselfconscious way, ran her tongue casually across her upper lip. As we continued chatting they asked if I could possibly take some Duty Free whisky and cigarettes through for them, since they were not allowed to. Naturally I agreed, and they came back with some stuff. Quite a lot of stuff, actually. "Are you sure I'm allowed all this?" I said. "Oh, don't worry, they're not very strict at Limerick," she said "Anyway, if they do stop you then just say you didn't know. The worst they would do is just take the stuff from you." When we landed, I came through Customs no problem, and there were the two beauties waiting for me, still in full uniform. We got into their car and drove a few miles to their Hotel. My anticipation turning to butterflies in the tummy though I tried to maintain my cool. As we sat having a drink in the bar, two guys came over and joined us. "Hi Darling," the brunette one said. "This is Ron fron Scotland, he's been an absolute gem and brought some stuff through for us for the party on Saturday." "Ron, this is my husband Dave, and that's Marie's husband Jack. They'll be able to give you a lift to the Bus Station to get the bus to Tralee". They're a crafty lot, these Irish lassies! Still, some good came of it. The Company I worked for had sent a car to pick me up at the Airport, which of course I had missed, so when I arrived at Fenit (Tralee), the ship had left. So I had two great weeks in Tralee, all expenses paid! cheers Ron

Farruquito has just had a press conference in Sevilla, captured live by Spanish TV. He took full responsibility, said he was shocked and panic stricken when he drove away, that he thought about the tragedy night and day and would live with it for the rest of his life. He said that when time had passed and healed wounds, he hoped the family would count on him for anything they wanted. Sean

quote:
NEW YORK TIMES - FLAMENCO: FARRUQUITO'S FUTURE The Flamenco dancer Farruquito, 22, has been released on $48,000 bail in Seville, Spain, after his arrest for a hit-and-run accident that killed a 35-year-old pedestrian, the Spanish daily El Mundo said. Originally it was believed that his 15-year-old brother was driving. Minors in Spain are not taken into police custody. Farruquito has already returned to the stage and will be able to perform in October at the Seville flamenco festival, where he has top billing. The judge in the case has revoked his passport, however, a move that will compel him to forgo a scheduled show in Japan. He was charged with negligent homicide, obstructing justice and failure to come to the aid of his victim. He is expected to go to trial next year. DALE FUCHS
