A gruesome discovery on a popular beach in Spain has led to the apprehension of a local bar owner. The body of a Colombian tourist, a 42-year-old woman identified as Triana A., was found dismembered on Los Enanos Beach in San Andrés on April 27. This horrifying discovery sparked a large-scale search for the person responsible.
Triana A. had reportedly sent a text message to a friend stating that she was going to a party. After this, she was not heard from again. Investigators theorize that the attacker first stabbed her in the neck and injured her legs before attempting to dismember her while she was unconscious and bleeding.
Authorities also believe that the murderer attempted to dispose of Triana A.’s body in a container or bags, but ultimately left her remains on the beach. The news of her brutal killing has left her friends and family in shock. A close associate expressed disbelief and extended condolences to her son and mother on social media.
The investigation led to the arrest of David S., the owner of the Arenales cafe-bar in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. The arrest occurred at his home in Los Torres, where a thorough search was conducted. His bar was also searched, with law enforcement officials cordoning off the area and placing an armed guard outside.
Local residents were taken aback by the arrest, describing the suspect’s bar as a popular spot that was “always packed”. David S., who had been operating the establishment for over six years, was known to have strong community ties. However, some residents noted that the bar’s atmosphere had changed in recent years, with late-night parties happening behind closed doors.
The investigation is still underway, and authorities have not ruled out the possibility of additional arrests. David S. is expected to appear in court by the end of the week.
