Police in Spain are investigating the shocking discovery of a smouldering, headless torso found in a popular tourist area in Alicante, a destination favoured by British holidaymakers.
The gruesome discovery was made by a runner in the La Serreta area, west of Alicante city, amidst preparations for the traditional bonfires of San Juan. The torso, found by the side of a road, was still burning when the alarm was raised early yesterday morning. There were no signs of the victim’s legs, arms, or head.
