She has been named as 43 year old Angela Hall
A 35 year old Cuban man has handed himself into the Guardia Civil in Torrevieja after the body of British woman, 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 at 7am and then went home, showered and changed his clothes and then went to confess his crime to the Civil Guard Barracks. On arriving at the house the Guardia Civil found the body face down on the floor, wearing pyjamas and in a pool of blood.

Reports indicate that there was no romantic involvement between him and the victim, although both lived in the same urbanisation and were neighbours. The killer claimed he had gone round to his neighbours house for a cup of coffee. Other neighbours say the couple used to argue frequently about the noise made by the Cuban.

The victim has now been named as Angela Hall, a 43 year old British woman, who according to first reports 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. Neighbours described her as ‘a person who you would think had never broken a plate in her life’.

The Instruction Judge in court 2 in Torrevieja has ordered an autopsy to be carried out. Reporting restrictions have been imposed.
