Woman’s Remains Found at Fuerteventura Landfill as Guardia Civil Detains Her Son

The investigation is under court secrecy.

Overview

  • Guardia Civil officers recovered human remains Friday at the Zurita landfill in Puerto del Rosario and detained the victim’s son as the suspected killer.
  • La Vanguardia reports the deceased was identified as Katty O., a Belgian woman aged 55–56 who had been missing since early in the week.
  • Investigators focused on the landfill after the woman was last seen Monday in Corralejo, requesting access that day and cordoning the area on Wednesday to search the site.
  • Local outlets, including Faro de Vigo, report that part of the body was found dismembered, a detail authorities have not expanded on publicly.
  • A judge went to the landfill to authorize removal of the body, and officials have released few further details while forensic work continues.
