New sexist crime: Mossos d'Esquadra arrest a man for killing a couple in Tarragona.
The detainee confessed that he was carrying the woman's lifeless body in the trunk of his car.
BarcelonaThe Mossos d'Esquadra (Catalan Police) arrested a 43-year-old man yesterday afternoon, allegedly linked to the violent death of a woman in Constantí, Tarragona. The incident occurred around 6:00 p.m. when a patrol car providing police support to a tow truck on the AP-7 highway observed a vehicle stop and the driver and sole occupant get out.
Upon exiting the car, the man explained to Catalan police officers that he had the body of a woman in the trunk, whom he claimed was his partner. Officers immediately verified the facts and arrested him as the alleged perpetrator of a homicide. After hours of investigation, the Mossos d'Esquadra (Catalan Police) were able to identify the victim and confirm that she was the detainee's partner, as he had previously confessed. Thus, the police are now investigating the homicide as a gender-based crime.
The Tarragona Criminal Investigation Division has taken over the case, which is under seal.
