A 33 year old Cuban man has handed himself into the Guardia Civil in Torrevieja after the body of woman, thought to be British, was found in a home in the Lago Jardín urbanisation in the town, showing signs of violence.
It’s thought the man stabbed the woman to death but reports say he has told the police that there was no romantic involvement between him and the victim, although both lived in the same urbanisation and were neighbours.
Other neighbours say the couple used to argue frequently about the noise made by the Cuban.
The victim has not yet been named, but is a 43 year old British woman, according to first reports which say she died from stab wounds to her neck and back in the home, just 500 metres from the Torrevieja hospital in the Los Balcones area of the town. Her husband is said to be away working in Afghanistan as part of his import/export business. She is thought to have lived in Torrevieja for about a year.
The Instruction Judge in court 2 in Torrevieja has ordered an autopsy to be carried out.
