Brother-in-Law Charged for Fatal Stabbing

Police have formally charged 23-year-old Edin Naun Henriquez Gabarrete, a Honduran labourer of the Spanish Lookout community, for the murder of 20-year-old Claritza Rossibel Granillo Rodriguez.

Rodriguez, also a Honduran national, was fatally stabbed on the night of July 16th during what police say was a heated argument with her brother-in-law over loud music.

Rodriguez lived with her husband and four male relatives on the grounds of a lumberyardwhere the men worked. According to investigators, the group had been socialising after work when the dispute turned deadly.

Police responded to the scene just after 9:30 p.m. and found Rodriguez’s body on the veranda with multiple stab wounds. She was rushed to the hospital but was pronounced dead on arrival.

Three men were initially detained after the incident, but Gabarrete, the main suspect, had fled.

Rodriguez and her family were relatively unknown in the Spanish Lookout community, and attempts to reach her relatives have so far been unsuccessful.
