Overview

  • A 43-year-old man turned himself in to Mossos d'Esquadra on the AP-7 near Constantí, revealing his wife’s body in his car trunk.
  • The suspect was arrested on homicide charges after driving several kilometers from the Valencian Community with the body in his vehicle.
  • The División de Investigación Criminal de Tarragona is leading the case under a court-ordered secrecy mandate to protect evidence integrity.
  • Authorities are collaborating with Valencian police to determine the jurisdiction and gather further evidence in the case.
