Body of Murcia man found in car boot

A MAN, reported missing from Alcantarilla, has been found dismembered in the boot of his car.

Originally from San Pedro del Pinatar, the 47-year-old was reported missing by his family on February 11. He had left home headed for Orihuela Costa and had a significant amount of money on him, as he worked in real estate in the Torrevieja area.

Police found his Audi A6 car parked in the overflow car park of the Hospital Los Arcos de San Javier, in an area set away from the hospital grounds.

Investigations are ongoing into the man’s death, with government delegate in Murcia, Joaquin Bascuñana, saying the body had been found in “strange and tragic conditions.”
