Woman run over by cars in Costa den Blanes (Calvia)

A WOMAN died on Monday after apparently jumping off an overhead walkway by Costa den Blanes (Calvia) and was run over by several cars.

Andratx motorway was closed for one-and-a-half-hours causing tailbacks for five kilometres.

The ex-husband of the 34-year-old woman was convicted the following day for having brutally beaten the deceased in their marital home in Costa den Blanes in late 2009.

The defendant, a prominent German physician, admitted to the facts and was sentenced to 60 days of community service.
