The woman's body, according to research sources, was wrapped in a sheet with abundant blood . The victim, added the same sources, was dressed in clothes to party

The body was found on Monday around 8 hours by operators of the garbage collection service in the urbanization La Sabatera de Moraira, in the municipality of Teulada-Moraira, an area mostly inhabited by foreign citizens, mainly Europeans.
