Police in the city of Córdoba have found the body of Finlay Ferguson, killed by a blow to the head with a heavy object, apparently a gym dumbbell. He had been tied to the bed.

Ferguson, 60, was conductor of the San Martin Theatre’s Orquesta Académica Juvenil , whose players are aged from 15 to 22.

Several men are being questioned.

UPDATE: Killer is jailed for life

  • Please do remember to give us a follow-up report about this case. There must be something more sensational behind the story!

      You are one sick individual! My brother was bruttally murdered by a psychopath and all you want are juicy details!

      Re look at your position as a human being, with empathy for others going through hell.

      Absolute shame on you.

    Norman, I am not able to read this on my iPhone as I keep receiving threatening virus messages whether I open Slipped Disc through Facebook or Google. This does not happen on my MacBook Air. Can something be done about this – it has been going on for several weeks now and I miss reading Slipped Disc on my phone. Surely, I am not the only one having this problem!

      Validating you are not alone experiencing the problem you describe when accessing SlippeDisc through the browser on a mobile device.

    • Rosana Martins says:

      I have an IPhone 6 and no problems whatsoever in reading Norman’s posts.

    • Derek Williams says:

      Me too – pop up appears and then its curtains for reading anything in Slipped Disc.

    • Alex Davies says:

      I have similar problems when viewing Slipped Disc on my PC and Android phone. I emailed the site to advise them of the problem and received a standard response in which it was suggested that these problems resulted from using Facebook. This makes no sense as I didn’t even know that it was possible to view Slipped Disc via Facebook. Typically I am redirected to a webpage asking me to update Google Chrome (although the URL has nothing to do with Google Chrome, so is presumably malicious) or advising me that I have won an iPhone. It’s very annoying, Slipped Disc is one of my essential daily reads. Unfortunately, these problems continue and little is done about it.

    Very dirty.

    I just said something about rss subscription, which is a totally legitimate way to read this blog and even officially supported by the host. However, all my subsequent posts got censored for no reason.

    I deplore the first comment on this page re the horrid murder of a Scottish conductor. It is prurient and distasteful.
