The mayor of Planes, Javier Sendra, has just commented on the incident saying: “Nobody in the town knew the woman who lived in the municipality with her partner for a year.” He explained that “she was a foreigner and was registered in Barcelona; her partner was registered in the town”. He has also indicated that “the neighbours do not know anything, moreover, the Partida Ceba, which is where the chalet is located, is a place with houses that are usually used only for the summer season.”
UPDATE: Monday 11/2/19
Following an investigation of the body by the Alicante Forensic Lab the victim’s 34-year-old Spanish partner has been arrested by the Guardia Civil and charged with murder.
