Police in Spain have arrested a man allegedly linked to the death of a 25-year-old woman whose body was found on a farm in Móra la Nova (Tarragona) on Thursday, March 23, according to 20Minutes.  

Official reports suggest the man arrested is a friend of the murdered woman.

He is reportedly a foreign national and a resident of the municipality of Móra d’Ebre which is located next to Mora la Nova.  

As per El Periódico, investigators have “not ruled out the possibility of it being a sexist crime, although they consider it increasingly unlikely, as the two were not in a romantic relationship”. Mossos d’Esquadra received a tip-off about the body, which showed “signs of violence”. 

As per reports, a farmer made a call at 8.15 am before the officers went to the scene, which was near the N-420.  

The judicial committee then arrived and certified the death with signs of violence followed by the forensic team, which collected the evidence. 

The family reported the disappearance of the young woman on Wednesday night when she did not return to her home in the municipality of Garcia after work. 

An investigation is underway which is being conducted by the Catalan police.
