Her body was found in an apartment in Los Cristianos, a resort on the Spanish island popular with British and Irish holidaymakers. | |
It is believed the man was arrested after walking into a bar close to where the woman's body was discovered. | It is believed the man was arrested after walking into a bar close to where the woman's body was discovered. |
