5. A murder has been committed
Reading activity
After leaving his luggage, Paco went down to the restaurant to have some lunch. While he was waiting for his meal, he took a newspaper that was on the bar and had a look at it.
Apparently a murder had been committed the night before and the culprit has already been arrested. A man went to a petrol station and asked the shop assistant for the money from the till. The man offered resistance and the thief shot him. Fortunately there was a camera and everything was filmed. The man was found driving at high speed on the highway with evident signs of nervousness. The police has declared that he will be interrogated in the morning.
