Tragic end to argument over missed flight in Sevilla

A THIRTY-FOUR-YEAR-OLD man handed himself in to the police on Wednesday evening (June 1) and confessed to having killed his partner in a rage after missing a flight to Italy.

The Romanian man presented himself at a Local Police station in Bollulos del Condado, where he is believed to have been living for some months while working for a circus, and explained to officers that he had strangled his 32-year-old girlfriend of the same nationality during an argument and left her body in the boot of a car in an abandoned industrial warehouse close to Sevilla’s San Pablo airport.

The Guardia Civil was immediately alerted and accompanied the alleged killer back to the scene, where they found the woman’s body under a blanket and confirmed the death.

The man has been handed over to the National Police force for questioning.
