The 22-year-old Moroccan national who became Europe’s most wanted man after he ploughed a van into pedestrians on Thursday, escaped the scene on foot before hi-jacking a car, stabbing its driver to death and ramming into a police blockade near Sant Just Desvern, outside Barcelona. He spent four days in hiding before today being spotted by a Catalan vineyard owner in the town of Subirats.
The daughter of the vineyard owner said her father alerted police after they saw a car crossing their property at high speed even though the vineyard was closed off. Roser Venura says police told them to immediately leave the Ventura Soler cava vineyard, located between the towns of Sadurni d’Anoia and Subirats. She says ‘we heard a helicopter flying around and many police cars coming toward the gas station’ near the property. Others said they believed Abouyaaquob had been recognised by staff or customers when he stopped to refuel his at an Amoco filling station near an industrial area. He was shot dead around one kilometre way on a country road flanked by vineyards and around 100 metres from a sewage station.
