A 40-year-old man has died after falling from a rooftop into an interior courtyard while fleeing from police in Manacor. The incident occurred at 10:40 p.m. on Tuesday when several calls alerted emergency services (112) to a loud argument between a couple at a residence in the Islote neighborhood, according to police sources.

Pere Taberner (Petra, 1972) has been a local police officer for 33 years. His first posting was in Capdepera, where he served until 2000. After a brief two-year stint with the Manacor Local Police, he became a sub-inspector in Santa Margalida until the pandemic, when he returned to the Manacor municipal force. A few weeks ago, he became the new chief inspector.
