Four dismembered bodies found in central Spain

Xinhua, September 19, 2016 Adjust font size:

Spanish Civil Guards on Sunday discovered the dismembered bodies of four Brazilians in a village house of Pioz in central Spain, Spanish media reported.

Two of the victims were children aged one and four respectively. All of the bodies had been placed in plastic bags left inside of the house, which had been rented around a month ago.

The Civil Guards have confirmed they were alerted to the killings by a neighbor, who called them after detecting a bad smell in the area.

No possible motives have yet been given for the killings, although an early theory is that it is related to a gangland settling of scores. The house where the bodies were found has been cordoned off while investigations continue. Enditem
