Decomposed body wrapped in sack found at Malaga province reservoir
The emergency services were alerted to the grisly find by a member of the public at around 11.30am this Tuesday morning
The Guardia Civil is investigating the discovery of a body wrapped in a sack just few metres from the Casasola reservoir in Almogía in Malaga province. The main hypothesis points to a violent death, according to sources from the police force, due to the manner in which the body was disposed of.
The alarm was raised by a member of the public who was passing by the reservoir this Tuesday morning at around 11.30am. Almogía Local Police officers and the Guardia Civil, as well as the judicial committee, arrived at the scene and proceeded to remove the body and transfer it to the Institute of Legal Medicine in Malaga for an autopsy to be performed, without removing its wrapping due to its state of decomposition.
At the moment, the Guardia Civil is conducting an investigation to try to clarify what happened. Although everything points to a violent death, various theories remain as to how the body ended up at the reservoir. According to sources consulted, officers are trying to determine whether the body was thrown into the water and later drifted to the shore, or whether it was simply thrown from the bridge in the area where it was found.
