Tangerine scream! ORANGE SLUICE: An algal bloom was to blame.
A NATURAL phenomenon left Costa del Sol beachgoers scratching their heads. Town halls received a barrage of calls reporting that the sea had turned bright orange, with Rincon de la Victoria Council hoisting red flags
to indicate dangerous conditions. But the bizarre episode was triggered by a fish breeding frenzy with the carrotcoloured water containing vast numbers of sardine and anchovy eggs mixed with red algae.
Drug mule? Riddle of roadside corpse By Matt Ford An unrecognisable burning corpse - probably a drugs mule found alongside a busy road, has sparked a Costa del Sol manhunt. The body with drugs packed in the stomach was discovered by a motorist who stopped to investigate a fire alongside the MA8301 between Estepona and Jubrique. As he drew up two cars sped from the scene. The passing motorist after realising the fire was a man’s body wrapped in blankets immediately called the Guardia Civil. Investigators - anxious to iden-
tify the corpse and to trace the drivers who sped off - are probing two hypothetical scenarios: 1. That the man was murdered before his body was set alight by the roadside. 2. More likely that one or more of the capsules had broken inside the man’s body leading to death through a drugs overdose, so accomplices set the body alight to dispose of the evidence. A post mortem examination was held yesterday (Wednesday), but the corpse, which during forensic tests was found to have the stomach filled with small capsules containing ‘narcotics in liquid form’ remains unidentified.
JUBRIQUE: The shocking incident occurred outside the village.
