Woman’s body found, ex-partner arrested THE body of a woman, 27, who was reported missing from Nijar in October last year, has been found in the El Polver area. Her former partner, 38, was arrested shortly after the discovery this week. Both were Moroccans, and although they had separated in August, they continued to live together because they were working on the same plantation.
Her disappearance was reported to the Guardia Civil by a relative in early October, and her body was found buried between greenhouses, on a piece of land near the house where she had been living. A post-mortem examination will be carried out to determine the cause of death. The details of the case remain secret and it is not known if the Guardia
Civil found the body as a result of information provided by the detainee or thanks to the investigation they had carried out. She had not filed any complaints against her former partner or anyone else for abuse, the provincial co-ordinator for the Andalucian Women’s Institute, Francisca Serrano, confirmed. Government Delegate
in Andalucia, Carmen Crespo, expressed her ‘sadness’ over how the case had turned out, although she said that it had been expected.
A 53-YEAR-OLD man has been arrested in Albox, accused of puncturing the tyres of 15 cars. He caused damage estimated at around €1,600 after using a knife to slash 23 tyres on randomly selected vehicles parked in four streets during the course of one night. Guardia Civil in Albox started an investigation after eight complaints from owners of damaged vehicles. With little information to go on following interviews with the complainants, they began making enquiries and became aware that the suspect had been in the area at the time of the incidents. After a few days, the man, who has a criminal record, was arrested near his home.
