The body of a woman has been found floating in an irrigation pond in Alicante. The find at Pilar de la Horadada, Alicante, close to Murcia, came just after 8am yesterday morning. Divers were needed to recover the body, in an advanced state of decomposition, some ten metres out of reach.
Once recovered a metal belt was found round the body, thought to have weighed it down initially under the water, and found that the victims hands and feet had been tied.
As yet there are no details on the identity of the victim, or the cause of death, but she has been described as being in her 20’s and blonde, possibly from Eastern Europe.
The case is in the hands of Instruction Court One in Orihuela, which has placed reporting restrictions in place, given that the evidence points to the woman meeting a violent death about a week ago.
