The Puerto Hurraco Massacre was a mass murder that occurred on 26 August 1990 in Puerto Hurraco, a village in Benquerencia de la Serena municipality, Province of Badajoz, (Extremadura, Spain). The perpetrators were brothers Emilio and Antonio Izquierdo, who murdered 9 people in the street, some belonging to the Cabanillas family, which had a long-time enmity with the Izquierdos, and caused serious injuries to 12 others. The perpetrators fled but were apprehended the next morning, and were later sentenced each to 342 years in prison.
