Description
Officers Ignacio Mendiluce and José Luis González Villanueva of the Basque autonomous police happened to be on a routine patrol on a road close to the Oteizabal farmhouse, when they noticed a car being driven at excessive speed. When the killer saw the two officers entering the farmhouse, he shot them in the back from a distance of less than two metres with a hunting shotgun, killing them instantly.
The perpetrator of the double murder was Mikel Otegui, a member of Jarrai at the time who later joined ETA. Hours earlier, he had got into an altercation in a bar with another member of the Basque Police, whom he had struck.
