Quick arrest after quartered body found in Elche
A 49 year old man was arrested last night, after he allegedly killed and dismembered 35 year old partner, throwing the body parts into separate rubbish bins and dumping them.
However, the rubbish bins displayed the address of the apartment building where they came from, which enabled the police to track the source of the crime with some ease.
The couple lived in the 5th floor of number 11 calle Juan Perpiñán. The remains of women were found about 16:00 yesterday by two people who were checking the dustbins. The so called “bin rooters” found one leg of the victim in a plastic bag and alerted the police. On the advice of ta judge, the dustbins were sealed and taken to a forensic unit for further investigation.
A few hours later, officers arrested the alleged murderer, who according to police, has a history of robbery with violence.
Residents claim that the couple, both of Spanish nationality, had been living in the area for about 4 months.
