The verger managed to get out of the church but was caught by the attacker outside and sustained mortal injuries,“ it said, indicating he had died on the spot.The two churches are several hundred metres apart and located in an area very close to the port.

In a posting on Twitter, the local congregation said Rodriguez, 74, had been celebrating the Eucharist at San Isidro church when he was attacked, describing his condition as “serious but stable”.A police source told AFP the assailant was wearing a long robe and had “shouted something” as he carried out the attack.
